How to solve for bounds restricting ${\Sigma}$ to symmetric-positive-semi-definiteness?

Scenario I have a equation for a covariance matrix ${\Sigma}$ where everything but a vector of correlations is known aka $x=(x_{1}, \dots, x_{D})$ for $x_{i}\in [-1, 1]$. Problem I know that ${x}$ ...

Solving a quadratic matrix equation with fat matrix

I am trying to find an $n \times m$ fat (i.e., $m > n$) matrix $T$ that solves $$T^T T = X$$ where $X$ is a given $m \times m$ symmetric, positive semidefinite matrix. I saw this post, but ...
