The proof of the asymptotic quadratic convergence is provided for the parallel two-sided block-Jacobi EVD algorithm with dynamic ordering for Hermitian matrices. The discussion covers the case of well-separated eigenvalues as well as clusters of eigenvalues. Having p processors, each parallel iteration step consists of zeroing 2p off-diagonal blocks chosen by dynamic ordering with the aim to maximize the decrease of the off-diagonal Frobenius norm. Numerical experiments illustrate and confirm the developed theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]

We introduce a simultaneous decomposition for a matrix triplet ( A, B, C), where A=± A and (⋅) denotes the conjugate transpose of a matrix, and use the simultaneous decomposition to solve some conjectures on the maximal and minimal values of the ranks of the matrix expressions A− BXC±( BXC) with respect to a variable matrix X. In addition, we give some explicit formulas for the maximal and minimal values of the inertia of the matrix expression A− BXC−( BXC) with respect to X. As applications, we derive the extremal ranks and inertias of the matrix expression D− CXC subject to Hermitian solutions of a consistent matrix equation AXA= B, as well as the extremal ranks and inertias of the Hermitian Schur complement D− B A B with respect to a Hermitian generalized inverse A of A. Various consequences of these extremal ranks and inertias are also presented in the paper. [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]

Let D be any division ring with an involution, ℋ n ( D) be the space of all n × n hermitian matrices over D. Two hermitian matrices A and B are said to be adjacent if rank( A − B) = 1. It is proved that if ϕ is a bijective map from ℋ n ( D)( n ≥ 2) to itself such that ϕ preserves the adjacency, then ϕ −1 also preserves the adjacency. Moreover, if ℋ n ( D ≠ $${\fancyscript S}$$ 3( $${\fancyscript F}$$ 2), then ϕ preserves the arithmetic distance. Thus, an open problem posed by Wan Zhe–Xian is answered for geometry of symmetric and hermitian matrices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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