Matrix theory is the study of matrices as concrete objects, rather than as abstract linear operators between vector spaces (whose study belongs to linear algebra). For instance, this involves matrix factorizations and decompositions, nonnegative matrices and Perron-Frobenius theory, Schur complements, structured and special matrices, matrix functions and equations.

Differentiability of operator norm

It need not be differentiable everywhere. Let $P$ and $Q$ be mutually orthogonal self-adjoint projections. Then the norm of $P+ t Q$ is 1 for $|t| \leq 1$ and $|t|$ for $|t| > 1$. However, $\|A + tB\ …

A property of positive matrices

No, this is false. Consider $\left[\matrix{1&0&0&1\cr 0&0&0&0\cr 0&0&0&0\cr 1&0&0&1}\right]$, regarded as a $2 \times 2$ matrix of $2\times 2$ blocks. This is a rank 1 matrix with operator norm 2 but …

Fixed point of quantum operations

As clarified in the comments, the question refers to positive operator valued measures, not quantum operations. Basically the issue is whether, for a given $A \in M_n = M_n(\mathbb{C})$ the map $B \ma …

What is the significance of matrix ordered algebras?

Okay. What you have defined is a matrix ordered vector space, not a matrix ordered operator algebra. But this is actually a better place to start. First question, give examples of such things. The st …
