(i) Consider a Toeplitz matrix $A_n = (a_{i, j})_{1 \le i, j \le n}$ of size $n$ defined as follows: $$ a_{i, j} := |i-j|^{-1/2}, \text{ if } i \ne j; \ \ a_{i, j} := 2, \text{ if }i = j. $$ Let $...

Let $M\in M_n(\mathbb C)$ be a $n\times n$ matrix over the complex field. It can be written uniquely as $M=H+A$, where $H=H^*$ denotes its Hermitian part and $A=-A^*$ its anti-Hermitian part. Its ...

Denote the set of real positive semidefinite $d\times d$ Hankel matrices as $\mathcal{S}$. Can we always decompose one $S\in \mathcal{S}$ into sum of rank $1$ $S_i\in \mathcal{S}$, i.e., $S=\sum_i S_i$...
