$\mathrm{diag}\left[(A+D)^{-1}\right] \ge \left[\mathrm{diag}(A)+D\right]^{-1}$?

Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a positive semidefinite matrix and $D\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a diagonal positive definite matrix. Let $\mathrm{diag}(X)\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ denote the d …

A seemingly simple inequality

Let $a_i,b_i\in\mathbb{R}$ and $n>1$, does the inequality $$ \left(\sum_{i=1}^n a_i^2\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^n b_i^2\right)+\left(\sum_{i=1}^na_i b_i\right)^2\ge \sqrt{\left(\sum_{i=1}^n a_i^4\right) …

A generalized log inequality for positive definite trace-one matrices

Let $\{V_i\}_{i=1}^N$ be a set of $n\times m$, $n\geq m$, real matrices of full column rank and let $X=X^\top\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a positive definite trace-one matrix. Moreover, let $A^{1/2}= …

A matrix monotonicity question

Let $X\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a positive semi-definite matrix and $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a stable matrix, i.e. a matrix whose eigenvalues are strictly inside the left-half complex plane …

Bounding a series of nested integrals

Consider the following matrix function $$ f(t) = \cos(\omega_1t) A_1 + \cos(\omega_2t) A_2, \quad t\ge 0, $$ where $A_1$, $A_2$ are real square matrices and $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$ positive numbers. N …
