Let $A,B$ be two real symmetric matrices. Let $C = A+B$ be a positive-definite matrix. Write $C>0$ for $C$ being positive-definite. Suppose that $A>0 \implies C>0$ and $B > 0 \implies C>...

Let $A_1$ be the $N \times N$-matrix for which $a_{i,j} = 1$ for $i=j$ and 0 otherwise. Let $A_2$ be the matrix for which $a_{i,j}=1$ for $|i-j| \leq 1$ and 0 otherwise. Similarly define $A_3$ (which ...
