چکیده
Let A be a nonnegative idempotent matrix. It is shown that the Schur complement of a submatrix, using the Moore-Penrose inverse, is a nonnegative idempotent matrix if the submatrix has a positive diagonal. Similar results for the Schur complement of any submatrix of A are no longer true in general.

Ela Nonnegativity of Schur Complements of Nonnegative
Let A be a nonnegative idempotent matrix. It is shown that the Schur complement of a submatrix, using the Moore-Penrose inverse, is a nonnegative idempotent matrix if the submatrix has a positive diagonal. Similar results for the Schur complement of any submatrix of A are no longer true in general.
متن کاملSchur Complements in C∗− Algebras
The formula (1) was first used by Schur [22], but the idea of the Schur complement goes back to Sylvester (1851), and the term Schur complement was introduced by E. Haynsworth [16]. In the beginning Schur complements were used in the theory of matrices. M.G. Krein [19] and W.N. Anderson and G.E. Trapp [4] extended the notion of Schur complements of matrices to shorted operators in Hilbert space...
متن کاملFunctions Preserving Nonnegativity of Matrices
The main goal of this work is to determine which entire functions preserve nonnegativity of matrices of a fixed order n— i.e., to characterize entire functions f with the property that f(A) is entrywise nonnegative for every entrywise nonnegative matrix A of size n×n. Towards this goal, we present a complete characterization of functions preserving nonnegativity of (block) uppertriangular matri...
متن کاملEla Schur Complements and Banachiewicz - Schur Forms
Through the matrix rank method, this paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a partitioned matrix to have generalized inverses with Banachiewicz-Schur forms. In addition, this paper investigates the idempotency of generalized Schur complements in a partitioned idempotent matrix.
متن کامل2 00 5 Schur Positivity and Schur Log - Concavity
We prove Okounkov’s conjecture, a conjecture of Fomin-FultonLi-Poon, and a special case of Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon’s conjecture on Schur positivity and give several more general statements using a recent result of Rhoades and Skandera. An alternative proof of this result is provided. We also give an intriguing log-concavity property of Schur functions. 1. Schur positivity conjectures The ring of...
