We establish a hierarchy of weighted majorization relations for the singularities of generalized Lamé equations and the zeros of their Van Vleck and Heine-Stieltjes polynomials as well as for multiparameter spectral polynomials of higher Lamé operators. These relations translate into natural dilation and subordination properties in the Choquet order for certain probability measures associated w...

Uncertainties in flavor and mass eigenstates of neutrinos are considered within the majorization approach. Nontrivial bounds reflect fact that cannot be simultaneously eigenstates. As quantitative measures uncertainties, both R\'{e}nyi Tsallis entropies utilized. Within current amount experience concerning mixing matrix, uncertainty relations need to put values only two parameters, viz. $\theta...

We give several criteria that are equivalent to the basic singular value majorization inequality (1.1) that is common to both the usual and Hadamard products. We then use these criteria to give a uniied proof of the basic majorization inequality for both products. Finally, we introduce natural generalizations of the usual and Hadamard products and show that although these generalizations do not...

‎This paper presents two main results that the singular values of the Hadamard product of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the Hadamard product of $|A_{i}|$ and the singular values of the sum of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the sum of $|A_{i}|$‎. ‎Some applications to these inequalities are also given‎. ‎In addi...

Moderated greedy search is based on the idea that it is helpful for greedy search algorithms to make non-optimal choices “once in a while.” This notion can be made precise by using the majorizationtheoretic approach to greedy algorithms. Majorization is the study of pre-orderings induced by doubly stochastic matrices. A majorization operator when applied to a distribution makes it “less unequal...

Let A ⊆ Mn(C) be a unital ∗-subalgebra of the algebra Mn(C) of all n × n complex matrices and let B be an hermitian matrix. Let Un(B) denote the unitary orbit of B in Mn(C) and let EA denote the trace preserving conditional expectation onto A. We give an spectral characterization of the set EA(Un(B)) = {EA(U B U) : U ∈ Mn(C), unitary matrix}. We obtain a similar result for the contractive orbit...

The appearance of Marshall and Olkin’s 1979 book on inequalities with special emphasis on majorization generated a surge of interest in potential applications of majorization and Schur convexity in a broad spectrum of fields. After 25 years this continues to be the case. The present article presents a sampling of the diverse areas in which majorization has been found to be useful in the past 25...

Given an approximate invariant subspace we discuss the effectiveness of majorization bounds for assessing the accuracy of the resulting Rayleigh-Ritz approximations to eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices. We derive a slightly stronger result than previously for the approximation of k extreme eigenvalues, and examine some advantages of these majorization bounds compared with classical bounds. From...

In this paper, we obtain extensions of majorization type results and extensions of weighted Favard’s and Berwald’s inequality. We prove positive semi-definiteness of matrices generated by differences deduced from majorization type results and differences deduced from weighted Favard’s and Berwald’s inequality. This implies a surprising property of exponentially convexity and log-convexity of th...

In the analysis of a recently proposed distributed estimation algorithm based on the Kalman ltering and on gossip iterations, we needed to apply a new inequality which is valid for i.i.d. matrix valued random processes. This inequality can be useful in the analysis of the convergence rate of general jump Markov linear systems. In this paper we present this inequality. This is based on the theor...
