the correspondence between matrix.pos_semidef and linear_map.is_positive #
In this file, we show that
x ∈ Mₙ
being positive semi-definite is equivalent to
x.to_euclidean_lin.is_positive
The adjoint of the linear map associated to a matrix is the linear map associated to the conjugate transpose of that matrix.
Equations
- hQ.invertible = _.invertible
a matrix $x$ is positive semi-definite if and only if there exists vectors $(v_i)$ such that $\sum_i v_iv_i^*=x$
we say a linear map $T \colon L(M_1) \to L(M_2)$ is a positive map if for all positive $x \in L(M_1)$, we also get $T(x)$ is positive
Equations
- T.positive_map = ∀ (x : M₁ →ₗ[ℂ] M₁), x.is_positive → (⇑T x).is_positive
a $^*$-homomorphism from $L(M_1)$ to $L(M_2)$ is a positive map
the identity is a positive definite matrix
each eigenvalue of a positive definite matrix is positive
the trace of a positive definite matrix is non-zero
given a positive definite matrix $Q$, we have $0\leq\Re(\textnormal{Tr}(Qx^*x))$ for any matrix $x$
given a positive definite matrix $Q$, we get $\textnormal{Tr}(Qx^*x)=0$ if and only if $x=0$ for any matrix $x$
