Strictly Hermitian Positive Definite Functions

Let H be any complex inner product space with inner product < ·, · >. We say that f : | C → | C is Hermitian positive definite on H if the matrix ( f(< z,z >) )n r,s=1 (∗) is Hermitian positive definite for all choice of z, . . . ,z in H, all n. It is strictly Hermitian positive definite if the matrix (∗) is also non-singular for any choice of distinct z, . . . ,z in H. In this article we prove...

Positive Definite and Semi-definite Splitting Methods for Non-hermitian Positive Definite Linear Systems

In this paper, we further generalize the technique for constructing the normal (or positive definite) and skew-Hermitian splitting iteration method for solving large sparse nonHermitian positive definite system of linear equations. By introducing a new splitting, we establish a class of efficient iteration methods, called positive definite and semi-definite splitting (PPS) methods, and prove th...

Matrices with Positive Definite Hermitian Part : Inequalities and Linear

The Hermitian and skew-Hermitian parts of a square matrix A are deened by H(A) (A + A)=2 and S(A) (A ? A)=2: We show that the function f(A) = (H(A ?1)) ?1 is convex with respect to the Loewner partial order on the cone of matrices with positive deenite Hermitian part. That is, for any matrices A and B with positive deenite Hermitian part ff(A) + f(B)g=2 ? f(fA + Bg=2) is positive semideenite: U...

Modified Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting methods for non-Hermitian positive-definite linear systems

Comparing the lopsided Hermitian/skew-Hermitian splitting (LHSS) method and Hermitian/skewHermitian splitting (HSS) method, a new criterion for choosing the above two methods is presented, which is better than that of Li, Huang and Liu [Modified Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting methods for nonHermitian positive-definite linear systems, Numer. Lin. Alg. Appl., 14 (2007): 217-235]. Key-Word...
