Trace inequality under consideration of definiteness

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} \...

Inequalities for trace/eigenvalues of product of multiple 2x2 matrices

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}\...

An "almost" true inequality for Hermitian matrices

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(\...

Bound on the trace of inverse matrix

Suppose $A$ is a positive semi-definite matrix and we can bound its trace as $l \le tr(A) \le L$. I am wondering if it is possible to find the upper and lower bounds on the trace of $A^{-1}$ based on $...
