We consider the problem of writing an arbitrary symmetric matrix as the difference of two positive semidefinite matrices. We start with simple ideas such as eigenvalue decomposition. Then, we develop a simple adaptation of the Cholesky that…
In this paper, we prove that if the matrix of the linear system is symetric, the Cholesky decomposition can be obtained from the Gauss elimination method without pivoting, without proving that the matrix of the system is positive definite.
In this paper we present a method for matrix inversion based on Cholesky decomposition with reduced number of operations by avoiding computation of intermediate results; further, we use fixed point simulations to compare the numerical…
In this paper we prove that every automorphism of the semigroup of invertible matrices with nonnegative elements over a linearly oredered associative ring on some specially defined subgroup concides with the composition of an inner…
We define lower triangular tensors, and show that all diagonal entries of such a tensor are eigenvalues of that tensor. We then define lower triangular sub-symmetric tensors, and show that the number of independent entries of a lower…
A new algorithm to approximate Hermitian matrices by positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices based on modified Cholesky decompositions is presented. In contrast to existing algorithms, this algorithm allows to specify bounds on the…
We investigate invertible matrices over finite additively idempotent semirings. The main result provides a criterion for the invertibility of such matrices. We also give a construction of the inverse matrix and a formula for the number of…
Cholesky factorization provides photonic lattices that are the isospectral partners or the square root of other arrays of coupled waveguides. The procedure is similar to that used in supersymmetric quantum mechanics. However, Cholesky…
The authors [3] proved that the endomorphism semiring of a nontrivial semilattice is always subdirectly irreducible and described its monolith. Here we prove that the endomorphism semiring of a commutative inverse semigroup with at least…
A symmetric tensor, which has a symmetric nonnegative decomposition, is called a completely positive tensor. We consider the completely positive tensor decomposition problem. A semidefinite algorithm is presented for checking whether a…
We present two novel, explicit representations of Cholesky factor of a nonsingular correlation matrix. The first representation uses semi-partial correlation coefficients as its entries. The second, uses an equivalent form of the square…
In this paper we characterize invertible matrices over an arbitrary commutative antiring S and find the structure of GL_n (S). We find the number of nilpotent matrices over an entire commutative finite antiring. We prove that every…
We study several variants of decomposing a symmetric matrix into a sum of a low-rank positive semidefinite matrix and a diagonal matrix. Such decompositions have applications in factor analysis and they have been studied for many decades.…
We study a nonlinear decomposition of a positive definite matrix into two components: the inverse of another positive definite matrix and a symmetric matrix constrained to lie in a prescribed linear subspace. Equivalently, the inverse…
It is shown that for positive real numbers $ 0<\lambda_{1}<\dots<\lambda_{n}$, $\left[\frac{1}{\beta({\lambda_i}, {\lambda_j})}\right]$, where $ \beta(\cdot,\cdot)$ denotes the beta function, is infinitely divisible and totally positive.…
In order to find a suitable expression of an arbitrary square matrix over an arbitrary finite commutative ring, we prove that every such a matrix is always representable as a sum of a potent matrix and a nilpotent matrix of order at most…
In this paper we consider the decomposition of positive semidefinite matrices as a sum of rank one matrices. We introduce and investigate the properties of various measures of optimality of such decompositions. For some classes of positive…
We establish a factorisation theorem for invertible, cross-symmetric, totally nonnegative matrices, and illustrate the theory by verifying that certain cases of Holte's Amazing Matrix are totally nonnegative.
We study the problem when every matrix over a division ring is representable as either the product of traceless matrices or the product of semi-traceless matrices, and also give some applications of such decompositions. Specifically, we…
It is well known that the full matrix ring over a skew-field is a simple ring. We generalize this theorem to the case of semirings. We characterize the case when the matrix semiring $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$, of all $n\times n$ matrices over a…
