A real matrix A is a G-matrix if A is nonsingular and there exist nonsingular diagonal matrices D_{1} and D_{2} such that A^{-T} = D_{1}AD_{2}, where A^{-T} denotes the transpose of the inverse of A. Denote by J = diag(±1) a diagonal (signature) matrix, each of whose diagonal entries is +1 or −1. A nonsingular real matrix Q is called J-orthogonal if Q^{T} JQ = J. Many connections are established between these matrices. In particular, a matrix A is a G-matrix if and only if A is diagonally (with positive diagonals) equivalent to a column permutation of a J-orthogonal matrix. An investigation into the sign patterns of the J-orthogonal matrices is initiated. It is observed that the sign patterns of the G-matrices are exactly the column permutations of the sign patterns of the J-orthogonal matrices. Some interesting constructions of certain J-orthogonal matrices are exhibited. It is shown that every symmetric staircase sign pattern matrix allows a J-orthogonal matrix. Sign potentially J-orthogonal conditions are also considered. Some examples and open questions are provided., Frank J. Hall, Miroslav Rozložník., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
We study some geometric properties associated with the t-geometric means A ♯_{t} B:= A^{1/2}(A^{-1/2}BA^{-1/2})^{t} A^{1/2}of two n × n positive definite matrices A and B. Some geodesical convexity results with respect to the Riemannian structure of the n × n positive definite matrices are obtained. Several norm inequalities with geometric mean are obtained. In particular, we generalize a recent result of Audenaert (2015). Numerical counterexamples are given for some inequality questions. A conjecture on the geometric mean inequality regarding m pairs of positive definite matrices is posted., Trung Hoa Dinh, Sima Ahsani, Tin-Yau Tam., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
