Let $G$ be a symmetric and indefinite matrix defined as follows $$ G := S - \begin{pmatrix} I_n & I_n \\ I_n & I_n \end{pmatrix},$$ where $S$ is a symmetric positive definite matrix of size $...

I came across this question and got really interested about it. There, the OP asks whether is possible to decompose a $2n \times 2n$ block matrix: $$ \begin{pmatrix} X & I \\ I & Y \end{...

How to verify if a linear system of symmetrical matrix blocks has solution? I have the matrix: $\left[M\right]_{p \times p}$, symmetrical $\left[G\right]_{p \times q}$ and then, I would like to ...

I want to solve the usual $A x = b$ system. In block form: $$ \begin{bmatrix} B & c \\ c^{T} & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x' \\ x_{n+1} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} b' \\ b_{n+1} \end{...

Consider the symmetric matrix $$M = \begin{bmatrix} A & B \\ B^T & -C \end{bmatrix}$$ where $A \in \cal{R}^{n \times n}$ and $C \in \cal{R}^{m\times m}$ are symmetric, ...

Let $X,Y\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be symmetric matrices. You may assume that $X$ is positive semidefinite and $Y$ negative semidefinite, if needed, but not that they are invertible. I would like to ...
