The statement that $A \ge B$ implies $A^{-1} \le B^{-1}$ is still true for matrices?
This is a well-known fact. A simple proof : setting $y=B^{1/2}x$, we have $\|y\|^2\le y^TB^{-1/2}AB^{-1/2}y$, that is $I_n\le B^{-1/2}AB^{-1/2}$. The eigenvalues of the latter symmetric matrix are thu …

Characterising semi-definite positiveness on vectors with non-negative entries
(After Noah Stein's answer) By definition, the dual cone $C^\star$ is spanned by matrices $v\otimes v$ with $v\ge0$. The following counter-example is due to Hall. The $5\times5$ symmetric matrix
$$S=\ …

Positive quadratic polynomial
This is a bit too long for a comment ...
Forty years ago, I wrote a paper Formes quadratiques et calcul des variations, published in J. Maths. Pures & Appl. 62 (1983), p 177-196. It dealt with such a …
