An element of the algebra $M_n(\mathbb{F})$ of $n \times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is called an involution if its square equals the identity matrix. Gustafson, Halmos, and Radjavi proved that any product of involutions in…
Positive real odd matrix functions, often referred to as positive real lossless matrix functions, play an important role in many applications in multi-port electrical systems. In this paper we present closer analogues to some of the known…
Nondegenerate covariance, correlation and spectral density matrices are necessarily symmetric or Hermitian and positive definite. The main contribution of this paper is the development of statistical data depths for collections of Hermitian…
We look for algebraic certificates of positivity for functions which are not necessarily polynomial functions. Similar questions were examined earlier by Lasserre and Putinar and by Putinar. We explain how these results can be understood as…
We consider a symmetric matrix, the entries of which depend linearly on some parameters. The domains of the parameters are compact real intervals. We investigate the problem of checking whether for each (or some) setting of the parameters,…
We represent Mat\'ern functions in terms of Schoenberg's integrals which ensure the positive definiteness and prove the systems of translates of Mat\'ern functions form Riesz sequences in $L^2(\R^n)$ or Sobolev spaces. Our approach is based…
We introduce new partial orders on the set $S^+_n$ of positive-definite matrices of dimension $n$ derived from the homogeneous geometry of $S^+_n$ induced by the natural transitive action of the general linear group $GL(n)$. The orders are…

The simple product formulae for derivatives of scalar functions raised to different powers are generalized for functions which take values in the set of symmetric positive definite matrices. These formulae are fundamental in derivation of…
In this work, we study various properties of embedded hypersurfaces in $1+1+2$ decomposed spacetimes with a preferred spatial direction, denoted $e^{\mu}$, which are orthogonal to the fluid flow velocity of the spacetime and admit a proper…
We study on what conditions on $B_k,$ \ a linear transformation of rank $r$ \label{form} T(A)=\sum_{k=1}^r\tr(AB_k)U_k where $U_k,\ k=1,2,..., r$ are linear independent and all positive definite; is positive definite preserving. We give…
In this paper, we first discussed multiplicative metric mapping by giving some topological properties of the relevant multiplicative metric space. As an interesting result of our discussions, we observed that the set of positive real…
In order to compute the Schmidt decomposition of $A\in M_k\otimes M_m$, we must consider an associated self-adjoint map. Here, we show that if $A$ is positive under partial transposition (PPT) or symmetric with positive coefficients (SPC)…
The purpose of this paper is to show stability of order preserving/reversing transforms on the class of non-negative convex functions in ${\mathbb R}^n$, and its subclass, the class of non-negative convex functions attaining $0$ at the…
We present certain existence criteria and parameterisations for an interpolation problem for completely positive maps that take given matrices from a finite set into prescribed matrices. Our approach uses density matrices associated to…
Embedding discrete Markov chains into continuous ones is a famous open problem in probability theory with many applications. Inspired by recent progress, we study the closely related questions of embeddability of real and positive operators…
The problem of polynomial least squares fitting in the standard Lagrange basis is addressed in this work. Although the matrices involved in the corresponding overdetermined linear systems are not totally positive, rectangular totally…
Let ${\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ be the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. We consider linear maps $\Phi: {\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F}) \rightarrow {\bf M}_r(\mathbb{F})$ preserving matrices annihilated by a fixed…
A real symmetric n times n matrix is called copositive if the corresponding quadratic form is non-negative on the closed first orthant. If the matrix fails to be copositive there exists some non-negative certificate for which the quadratic…
Isotropic positive definite functions on spheres play important roles in spatial statistics, where they occur as the correlation functions of homogeneous random fields and star-shaped random particles. In approximation theory, strictly…
