Questions where the notion matrix has an important or crucial role (for the latter, note the tag matrix-theory for potential use). Matrices appear in various parts of mathematics, and this tag is typically combined with other tags to make the general subject clear, such as an appropriate top-level tag ra.rings-and-algebras, co.combinatorics, etc. and other tags that might be applicable. There are also several more specialized tags concerning matrices.

Is this matrix positive semi-definite? [closed]
Consider $K$ vectors $x_1,\dots,x_K$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$. Define the $K\times K$ matrix $A$ whose $(i,j)$ entry is given as $$A_{ij}=\exp(-\frac{||x_i-x_j||^2}{2})$$ Is this matrix Positive Semi-Definit …

Relating Numerical Range and Perron-frobenius theorem for positive matrices?
Let $A$ be any matrix with all entries positive (which means Perron-Frobenius theorem can be applied). Then its numerical range is defined as the set of complex numbers
$$W(A)=\{x^HAx\lvert ~x^Hx=1\}$ …
