A Factorization of Positive Hermitian Matrices

Permanents of Positive Semidefinite Hermitian Matrices

In this project, we are interested in approximating permanents of positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices. Specifically, we find conditions on positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices such that we can generalize the algorithm described in Sections 3.6 3.7 of [1] to matrices satisfying these conditions.

J-spectral factorization of regular para-Hermitian transfer matrices

-spectral factorization of regular para-Hermitian transfer matrices

This paper characterizes a class of regular para-Hermitian transfer matrices and then reveals the elementary characteristics of J -spectral factorization for this class. A transfer matrix in this class admits a J -spectral factorization if and only if there exists a common nonsingular matrix to similarly transform the A-matrices of and −1, resp., into 2 × 2 lower (upper, resp.) triangular block...

Congruence of Hermitian Matrices by Hermitian Matrices

Two Hermitian matrices A, B ∈ Mn(C) are said to be Hermitian-congruent if there exists a nonsingular Hermitian matrix C ∈ Mn(C) such that B = CAC. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for two nonsingular simultaneously unitarily diagonalizable Hermitian matrices A and B to be Hermitian-congruent. Moreover, when A and B are Hermitian-congruent, we describe the possible iner...

Convergence properties of preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting methods for non-Hermitian positive semidefinite matrices

For the non-Hermitian and positive semidefinite systems of linear equations, we derive sufficient and necessary conditions for guaranteeing the unconditional convergence of the preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting iteration methods. These result is specifically applied to linear systems of block tridiagonal form to obtain convergence conditions for the corresponding block varia...
