A matrix $A$ is totally positive (or non-negative) of order $k$, denoted $TP_k$ (or $TN_k$), if all minors of size $\leq k$ are positive (or non-negative). It is well-known that such matrices are characterized by the variation diminishing…
On the reference tetrahedron $K$, we construct, for each $k \in \mathbb{N}_0$, a right inverse for the trace operator $u \mapsto (u, \partial_{n} u, \ldots, \partial_{n}^k u)|_{\partial K}$. The operator is stable as a mapping from the…
The relative log-concavity ordering $\leq_{\mathrm{lc}}$ between probability mass functions (pmf's) on non-negative integers is studied. Given three pmf's $f,g,h$ that satisfy $f\leq_{\mathrm{lc}}g\leq_{\mathrm{lc}}h$, we present a pair of…
We derive an extremal equation for optimal completely-positive map which most closely approximates a given transformation between pure quantum states. Moreover, we also obtain an upper bound on the maximal mean fidelity that can be attained…
A new class of positive maps is introduced. It interpolates between positive and completely positive maps. It is shown that this class gives rise to a new characterization of entangled states. Additionally, it provides a refinement of the…
A linear map $\Phi$ between matrix spaces is called cross-positive if it is positive on orthogonal pairs $(U,V)$ of positive semidefinite matrices in the sense that $\langle U,V\rangle:=\text{Tr}(UV)=0$ implies $\langle…
Given a compact subset $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}$ (or $\mathbb{C}$) with logarithmic capacity greater than zero, we construct an explicit family of probability measures supported on $\Sigma$ such that their closure is all the possible weak…
Given operators $A,B$ in some ideal $\mathcal{I}$ in the algebra $\mathcal{L}(H)$ of all bounded operators on a separable Hilbert space $H$, can we give conditions guaranteeing the existence of a trace-class operator $C$ such that $B…
Two of the most studied extensions of trace and testing equivalences to nondeterministic and probabilistic processes induce distinctions that have been questioned and lack properties that are desirable. Probabilistic trace-distribution…
We address the problem of existence of completely positive trace preserving (CPTP) maps between two sets of density matrices. We refine the result of Alberti and Uhlmann and derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two unital $C^*$-algebras and let for $C\in\mathcal{A},\ \Gamma_C=\{\gamma \in \mathbb{C} : \|C-\gamma I\|=\inf_{\alpha\in \mathbb{C}} \|C-\alpha I\|\}$. We prove that if $\Phi :\mathcal{A}…
Some subadditivity results involving symmetric (unitarily invariant) norms are obtained. For instance, if $g(t)=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt^k$ is a polynomial of degree $m$ with non-negative coefficients, then, for all positive operators $A,\,B$ and…
Let $S(\rho)=- Tr (\rho \log\rho)$ be the von Neumann entropy of an $N$-dimensional quantum state $\rho$ and $e_2(\rho)$ the second elementary symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues of $\rho$. We prove the inequality $S(\rho) \le c(N)…
Matrix completion and quantum tomography are two unrelated research areas with great current interest in many modern scientific studies. This paper investigates the statistical relationship between trace regression in matrix completion and…
We discuss some inequalities for N nonnegative numbers. We use these inequalities to obtain known inequalities for probability distributions and new entropic and information inequalities for quantum tomograms of qudit states. The…
Continuous-variable systems in quantum theory can be fully described through any one of the ${\rm s}$-ordered family of quasiprobabilities $\Lambda_{\rm s}(\alpha)$, ${\rm s} \in [-1,1]$. We ask for what values of $({\rm s}, a)$ is the…
Copositive and completely positive matrices play an increasingly important role in Applied Mathematics, namely as a key concept for approximating NP-hard optimization problems. The cone of copositive matrices of a given order and the cone…
This paper continues the investigation begun in arXiv:1906.05602 of extending the T1 theorem of David and Journ\'e, and optimal cancellation conditions, to more general weight pairs. The main additional tool developed here is a two weight…
We study maps between positive definite or positive semidefinite cones of unital $C^*$-algebras. We describe surjective maps that preserve (1) the norm of the quotient or multiplication of elements; (2) the spectrum of the quotient or…
We define an entanglement witness in a composite quantum system as an observable having nonnegative expectation value in every separable state. Then a state is entangled if and only if it has a negative expectation value of some…
