An inequality for certain positive-semidefinite matrices
Suppose that $G=(G_{ij})$ is a positive-semidefinite symmetric matrix with the diagonal entries all equal $1$ and all off-diagonal entries $\le0$. Does it then necessarily follow that
$$\sum_{i,j}(G^5)...

A question on symmetric matrices
$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}}$
The question is
Is there a constructive (say, parametric) description of the set (say $M_n$) of all symmetric matrices $A\in\R^{n\times n}$ such that all the diagonal ...
