- I have $M$ square complex matrices $\mathbf{R}_m$ of size $N\times N$. - I have $M$ complex, matrix-valued functions $\mathbf{H}_m(z)$ of complex variable $z$, also of size $N \times N$ . - Each $\mathbf{H}_m(z)$ is diagonal, with all $N$ diagonal entries containing the same scalar function $H_m(z)$, i.e. $\mathbf{H}_m(z) = H_m(z)\mathbf{I}$. - All scalar functions $H_m(z)$ are positive-real. Is there a way to proof that $\sum_{m=1}^M \mathbf{R}_m \mathbf{H}_m(z)$ will be positive-real if all matrices $\mathbf{R}_m$ are Hermitian positive definite?
