The numerical range of a matrix is studied geometrically via the cone of positive semidefinite matrices (or semidefinite cone for short). In particular it is shown that the feasible set of a two-dimensional linear matrix inequality (LMI),…

In this paper, for $0<\alpha<1$, $p>0$ and positive semidefinite matrices $A,B\ge0$, we consider the quasi-extension $\mathcal{A}_{\alpha,p}(A,B):=((1-\alpha)A^p+\alpha B^p)^{1/p}$ of the $\alpha$-weighted arithmetic matrix mean, and the…
Positive definite (p.d.) matrices arise naturally in many areas within mathematics and also feature extensively in scientific applications. In modern high-dimensional applications, a common approach to finding sparse positive definite…
We give a minimal list of inequalities characterizing the possible eigenvalues of a set of Hermitian matrices with positive semidefinite sum of bounded rank. This answers a question of A. Barvinok.
The set of matrices of given positive semidefinite rank is semialgebraic. In this paper we study the geometry of this set, and in small cases we describe its boundary. For general values of positive semidefinite rank we provide a conjecture…
In this paper, we discuss new inequalities for accretive matrices through non standard domains. In particular, we present several relations for $A^r$ and $A\sharp_rB$, when $A,B$ are accretive and $r\in (-1,0)\cup (1,2).$ This complements…
Positive semidefinite matrices partitioned into a small number of Hermitian blocks have a remarkable property. Such a matrix may be written in a simple way from the sum of its diagonal blocks
There are various generalizations of the geometric mean $(a,b)\mapsto a^{1/2}b^{1/2}$ for $a,b\in \mathbb{R}^+$ to positive matrices, and we consider the standard positive geometric mean $(X,Y)\mapsto…
We study a Riemannian metric on the cone of symmetric positive-definite matrices obtained from the Hessian of the power potential function $(1-\det(X)^\beta)/\beta$. We give explicit expressions for the geodesics and distance function,…
The article shows how two choices are possible whenever computing the geometric mean, and the repetition of this process can in general yield 2-to-the power N different values when the choices are compounded in the first N steps of…
In the paper, the authors show that the weighted geometric mean and the logarithmic mean are Bernstein functions and establish integral representations of these means by Cauchy's integral theorem in the theory of complex functions.
We introduce a method to construct general multivariate positive definite kernels on a nonempty set $X$ that employs a prescribed bounded completely monotone function and special multivariate functions on $X$.\ The method is consistent with…
Associated to any finite metric space are a large number of objects and quantities which provide some degree of structural or geometric information about the space. In this paper we show that in the setting of subsets of weighted Hamming…
Pseudo-hermitian matrices are matrices hermitian with respect to an indefinite metric. They can be thought of as the truncation of pseudo-hermitian operators, defined over some Krein space, together with the associated metric, to a finite…
We show that a matrix is a Hermitian positive semidefinite matrix whose nonzero entries have modulus 1 if and only if it similar to a direct sum of all $1's$ matrices and a 0 matrix via a unitary monomial similarity. In particular, the only…
There exist lots of distinct geometric means on the cone of positive definite Hermitian matrices such as the metric geometric mean, spectral geometric mean, log-Euclidean mean and Wasserstein mean. In this paper, we prove the…
We obtain generalisations of some inequalities for positive unital linear maps on matrix algebra. This also provides several positive semidefinite matrices and we get some old and new inequalities involving the eigenvalues of a Hermitian…
We prove that for positive semidefinite matrices $A$ and $B$ the following determinantal inequality holds: \[ \det(I+A\#B)\le \det(I+A^{1/2}B^{1/2}), \] where $A\#B$ is the geometric mean of $A$ and $B$. We apply this inequality to the…
We revisit the task of learning a Euclidean metric from data. We approach this problem from first principles and formulate it as a surprisingly simple optimization problem. Indeed, our formulation even admits a closed form solution. This…
