A real number is positive or negative or zero. For symmetric matrices, a similar distinction is possible using the definiteness. Definiteness will play a crucial role in assessing the extreme points of a function of several variables. The definiteness of a symmetric matrix can be assessed using its (real) eigenvalues.

Definiteness and Matrix Norms

摘要

A real number is positive or negative or zero. For symmetric matrices, a similar distinction is possible using the definiteness. Definiteness will play a crucial role in assessing the extreme points of a function of several variables. The definiteness of a symmetric matrix can be assessed using its (real) eigenvalues.
