2-positivity to 3-positivity

Let $B\in M_3(\mathbb{C})$ and $S_3= \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{pmatrix} $. Suppose $I_3\otimes I_2+B\otimes X+B^*\otimes X^*\geq 0$ for all $2$...

Minimax type principle for a self-adjoint operator acting on a Hilbert space

Let $T\in\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ be a self-adjoint operator acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Suppose $k\in\mathbb{N}$. Define $$\lambda_k(T)=\sup\limits_{\substack{\mathcal{M}\subseteq \...

Local differentiability of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix

Let $A(x)\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a real symmetric matrix depending on the point $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$, where the eigenvalues are not necessarily simple. Can we say that for all $x$ there exists an ...

The spectrum of the product $JA$ where $J=I_n\oplus (-I_n)$

Let $A$ be a real symmetric matrix in $M_{2n}(\mathbb{R})$with $A^2=I_{2n}$. Suppose that the Schur decomposition of $A$ is given by $A=\Lambda^t D \Lambda$. Let us consider the following matrix. $$...

Johnson-Lindenstrauss type result for matrix factorization

The type of result I want is: given matrix $A\in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ and error tolerance $\epsilon$, what is a lower bound on $k$ such that $\|A - UV\|_{??}\le \epsilon$, where $U \in\mathbb{R}^{m\...

Eigenvectors of the symmetric tridiagonal matrices whose entries above the diagonal are all the same

Let us consider the real symmetric tridiagonal matrix $T=(t_{kl})$ in $M_n(\mathbb{R})$ with $$t_{1,2}=t_{2,3}=\cdots=t_{n-1,n}=1$$ How can we compute the eigenvectors of $T$?

Follow-up question regarding real singular matrices with additional details

After my question whose answer turned out to be false, I re-examined the course of my proof, which is actually seperate from the one in my question, and found out that there's another condition, at ...

Lipschitz map on positive definite cone of $n$-by-$n$ matrices

A function matrix $f : X \to \mathbb R$ is a convex Lipschitz continuous matrix function with Lipschitz constant $\mathrm L$ with respect to a fixed given norm $\|\cdot\|$, i.e., $|f(A)-f(B)| \leq \...

eigenvalues of the product of a unitary with a diagonal

In $M_n(\mathbb{C})$, suppose $U$ and $D$ are a unitary and an invertible diagonal matrix with eigenvalues $\{e^{i\theta_1},\cdots,e^{i\theta_n}\}$ and $\{e^{i\eta_1},\cdots,e^{i\eta_n}\}$ ...

Is a basis that almost diagonalizes a matrix 'close' to its eigenbasis?

Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be diagonalisable (over $\mathbb{C}$) with pairwise distinct eigenvalues $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n\in\mathbb{C}$, and suppose that $$\tag{1}S^{-1}\cdot A\cdot S = \...

Non-square multiplication operator matrix

Let $A(x), x\in (0,1)$ an $2\times n$ matrix, with $n\geq 2$. Consider the multiplication operator $K$ on $[L^2(0,1)]^n$ defined as $$K: f(x) \mapsto Kf(x)=A(x).f(x).$$ Intuitively, $$K: [L^2(0,1)]^n ...

Special kind of translation and rotational invariance of the numerical range

Let $T\in\mathscr{B(\mathcal{H})}$ and $X\in M_n(\mathbb{C})$. Is the following statement true? If $W(B\otimes X)\subseteq W(B\otimes T)$ for any $B\in M_n$ then $W(B\otimes (X+I_n))\subseteq W(B\...

Composition of upper semi-continuous real valued function with upper semi-continuous matrix valued function

Say that a matrix valued function $A: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ is upper semi-continuous at $x_0$ if $$ \limsup_{x \rightarrow x_0} A(x) \preceq A(x_0), $$ where $\preceq$ ...

Construct a probability function on the operator monotone functions, $g(t)=t g(t^{-1})$, fitting certain values

To immediately pose the question of interest to us, without first expanding upon its (quantum-information-theoretic) origin—we seek a univariate function $f$, for which we have the ("two-qubit ...

About local maxima of multivariable polynomials

Lets say I have a real valued function which is writable as a polynomial in terms of Frobenius norms of a pair of matrices as in it is of the form, $f_B(A) = f(||A||_F^2, ||AB||_F^2, ||A^TAB||_F^2)$ ...
