The determinant of a negative definitematrix must be positive.
For the matrix write as discussed in Exercise 30. See Example 1.
Let be a complex matrix such that for all eigenvalues of . Show that role="math" localid="1659610526426" , meaning that the modulus of all entries of approaches zero.
b. Prove Theorem 7.6.2.
A Cholesky factorization of a symmetric matrix A is a factorization of the formwhere L is lower triangular with positive diagonal entries.
Show that for a symmetricmatrix A, the following are equivalent:
(i) A is positive definite.
(ii) All principal submatricesrole="math" localid="1659673584599" of A are positive definite. See
Theorem 8.2.5.
(iii)
(iv) A has a Cholesky factorization
Hint: Show that (i) implies (ii), (ii) implies (iii), (iii) implies (iv), and (iv) implies (i). The hardest step is the implication from (iii) to (iv): Arguing by induction on n, you may assume that ) has a Cholesky factorization . Now show that there exist a vector and a scalar t such that
Explain why the scalar t is positive. Therefore, we have the Cholesky factorization
This reasoning also shows that the Cholesky factorization of A is unique. Alternatively, you can use the LDLT factorization of A to show that (iii) implies (iv).See Exercise 5.3.63.
To show that (i) implies (ii), consider a nonzero vector, and define
role="math" localid="1659674275565"
In (fill in n − m zeros). Then
role="math" localid="1659674437541"
Sketch the curves defined in Exercises 15 through 20. In each case, draw and label the principal axes, label the intercepts of the curve with the principal axes, and give the formula of the curve in the coordinate system defined by the principal axes.
