Trace inequality under consideration of definiteness

Let $G \in \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3}$ a symmetric, but indefinite matrix and $U \in \mathbb{R}^{3\times 3}$ a symmetric and positive definite matrix. I would like to prove the inequality $$ \text{Tr} \...

Maximizing trace of $\mathrm V^T \mathrm A \mathrm V$ for $\mathrm A$ symmetric (alternate proof with min/max-theorem)

I'm trying to work out a proof for the following proposition: Let $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n,n}$ a real, symmetric matrix with eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \ge \lambda_2 \ge \cdots \ge \lambda_n$, then $$\max \...

Trace and exterior product

Let $V$ be a $2n$-dimensional complex vector space with base $\{e_1,\dotsc,e_n,f_1,\dotsc,f_n]\}$ Let $W \subset \wedge^n V$ be the subspace in the exterior product, with basis vectors $$ e_{i_1} \...

Trace inequality for matrices with determinant 1

Let $A$ and $B$ be two matrices with $\det(A)=\det(B)=1$. Does it follow that $\sqrt{\mathrm{tr}(A^TB^TBA-I)}\le\sqrt{\mathrm{tr}(A^TA-I)}+\sqrt{\mathrm{tr}(B^TB-I)}$ I suspect that this can be ...

How to show that the trace of a regularized Laplacian defined on two sphere with radius $h\geq 1$ is diverging logarithmically?

Let $h,m\in[1,\infty)$. I would like to verify that the following sum diverges logarithmically \begin{equation} \sum_{d=0}^{\infty} \frac{2d+1}{2h^2(1+\frac{d(d+1)}{h^2})(1+\frac{d(d+1)}{h^2m ^2})^{2}}...

Proving 2 matrices have the same trace [closed]

I found a problem in my textbook and I have tried solving it, but I had no succes. The problem is: Let $A$ and $B$ be $n \times n$ matrices with complex number entries. Given that $AB−BA$ is ...
