Necessary and sufficient conditions for the Stieltjes moment problem to have a unique solution and for the Hamburger moment problem with the same moments to have infinitely many solutions were obtained in Hamburger's papers on the classical moment problem. In this paper, we obtain an analog of Hamburger's criterion for the matrix moment problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this note, for a system of q matrix equations of the form we consider the problem of the existence of Hermitian nonnegative-definite solutions. We offer an alternative with simplification and regularity to the result on necessary and sufficient conditions for the above matrix equations with q = 2 to have a Hermitian nonnegative-definite solution obtained by Zhang [1], who proposed a revised version of Young et al. [2]. Moreover, we give a necessary condition for the general case and then put forward a conjecture, with which at least some special situations are in agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We give a simple proof of a determinantal inequality due to Marcus (1976). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
