Let $A$ be an $N\times N$ Hermitian matrix. For $p+q$ even, consider the following inequality: $$\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N (A^p)_{ii} (A^q)_{ii} \geq \Big(\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N (A^p)_{ii} \Big) \Big(\...

Problem. Let $n_1,\ldots,n_s,m_1,\ldots,m_s\ge 0$ be nonnegative integers and set $m := \sum_{i=1}^s m_i$ and $n := \sum_{i=1}^s n_i$. Let $\oplus$ be an operation on matrices which stacks them in a ...

Let $G \in \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3}$ a symmetric, but indefinite matrix and $U \in \mathbb{R}^{3\times 3}$ a symmetric and positive definite matrix. I would like to prove the inequality $$ \text{Tr} \...

Consider the matrix product $\prod_i^n A_i$, where each $A_i$ is a $2\times2$ matrix having the form $A_i = \left( \begin{smallmatrix} \lambda + \alpha_i & -\beta_i \\ 1 & 0\end{smallmatrix}\...

Let $A,B,C\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be such that $\left(\begin{array}{} A & B \\ B^T & C \end{array}\right)\succeq 0$. I would like to prove that $$\mathrm{trace}\,B \le \sum_{i=1}^n \sqrt{\...

Let $A$ and $B$ be two Hermitian matrices and let $D$ be a diagonal matrix. Does there exist any inequality involving the trace for the diagonal entries $(D A D A D A B)_{i,i}$? I am looking for ...
