A neat evaluation of an infinite matrix?
Let $M_n$ be an $n\times n$ matrix defined as
$$M_n
=\left[\frac{2i+1}{2(i+j+1)}\binom{i-1/2}i\binom{j-1/2}jx^{i+j+1}\right]_{i,j=0}^n.$$
With $I_n$ the identity matrix, consider $A_n:=I_n-M_n^2$. ...

How to transform matrix to this form by unitary transformation?
Without loss of gernerality, we can only consider $n$-dimensional diagonal matrix $M$ whose elements are all nonnegative, i.e.
$$M=\operatorname{diag}(m_1,m_2,\cdots,m_n)\ (m_i \geq 0).$$
Then is ...

A Matrix Inequality for positive definite matrices
Let $X$ and $Y$ be positive semi-definite self-adjoint complex matrices of same finite order. The, is it true that $|X-Y|\leq X+Y$ where for any matrix $A$, $|A|$ is defined to be $|A|:=(A^*A)^{\frac{...

Inequality between nuclear norm and operator norm for positive definite matrices
I will use $\|\|_*$ to denote the nuclear norm (sum of singular values) and $\|\|_2$ to denote the operator norm / matrix 2-norm (largest singular value).
Consider two positive definite $n \times n$ ...

Operator norm for $\max\frac{\Vert x \Vert _1}{\sqrt {x'Cx}}$
Suppose $C$ is a $n$ by $n$ real symmetric matrix, and $x\in R^n$. Is there an operator norm of $C$ for $\max\frac{\Vert x \Vert _1}{\sqrt {x'Cx}}$?
If I decompose $C$ into $A'A = C^{-1}$, It seems ...

On the Lowener-Heinz inequality
I know that for two symmetric positive semi-definite (non-diagonal) matrices $A,B$, the inequality asserts that the following does not hold for all $p > 1$
$$A \succeq B \succeq 0 \Rightarrow A^p \...

Reference for measures of commutativity needed
I'm looking for an appropriate measure to quantify the extent to which two matrices commute. In other words, if A and B are two n×n Hermitian matrices, and [A,B]=C.
I'd like a function μ:Cn×n→[0,∞) ...
