Inverse of a small submatrix
Let $A$ be a large matrix (say, $1000 \times 1000$), and let $\mathcal I = \{2,3,5\}$ be a set of row/column indices. Let $(A^{-1})_{\cal I \times I}$ denote the submatrix of $A^{-1}$ that consists of ...

Jaffard's theorem - finite matrices
For infinite matrices, Jaffard's theorem states that if $(A(k,l))_{k,l\in \mathbb{Z}}$ is invertible and satisfies
$$
A(k,l) \leq C (1+\left|k-l\right|)^{-r},
$$
for some $C>0$,
then
$$
A^{-1}(k,...

Inverting (via Taylor expansion) a sum of (rank-deficient) skew-symmetric matrix and (rank-deficient) Diagonal matrix
I have the following problem:
A matrix $C\in \mathbb{R}^{2N}$, where
$C=\epsilon A+D$
$\epsilon A=(C-C')/2$ is skew symmetric with "block" anti-diagonal structure of size 4.
$ D=(C+C')/2$ (Diagonal ...

sign-flipping inverse
Consider this matrix:
$Z=\begin{bmatrix}23.9 & -7 & -17 \\\\ -7 & 23.9 & -17 \\\\ -17 & -17 & 33.9 \end{bmatrix}$
Its inverse is entrywise negative (you can check...) and ...

How to prove that each element of $A(A^TA)^{-1}A^Ty$ is greater than 0, if $A(i,j)>0$ and $y=[1, 1, 1, ..., 1]^T$
Let $A\in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$, $m>n$, $rank(A)=n$, and $\forall 1 \leq i \leq m, 1 \leq j \leq n, A(i, j)>0$, $y=[1, 1, 1, ..., 1]^T$. Let $\beta=A(A^TA)^{-1}A^Ty$, how to prove that each ...

Under what conditions does $x^TA^{-1}y> 0$ hold? $A$ is a symmetric positive definite matrix,$A\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}_+, x,y\in \mathbb{R}^{n}_+$
This is a tricky problem I encountered in my research. $A\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}_+, x,y\in \mathbb{R}^{n}_+$, i.e. $\forall 1\leq i \leq n, 1 \leq j\leq n, A(i, j)>0, x(i), y(i)>0$.
As known, ...

Matrix quantization and effect on singular values
Let $A$ and $B$ be an $N\times n$ matrix with $n\le N$, and let $\sigma_1(X),\dots \sigma_n(X)$ denote the singular values of $X\in \{A,B\}$. Do we have upper and lower bounds for

Diagonal of the inverse of a 6x6 symmetric partitioned matrix
Let
$$M = \begin{bmatrix}
A & B \\
B & C
\end{bmatrix}$$
in which $A$, $B$ and $C$ are $3 \times 3$ matrices being also symmetric. In fact, they are quite similar, just differing on a single ...
