Frobenius pairing, entrywise positive part, and the Schur product #
This file records the real Frobenius inner product ⟨B, C⟩ = tr(Bᵀ C), the
entrywise positive part of a matrix, the rank-one Laplacian
vecMulVec (e i - e j) (e i - e j), and the Schur product theorem for real
positive semidefinite matrices.
N06 — Frobenius pairing #
Expanding the Frobenius pairing as an entrywise sum. This identity does not require symmetry of either argument; in particular it yields the Frobenius–Hadamard formula for a symmetric first factor.
N08 — Entrywise positive part #
N09 — Rank-one Laplacian entries #
Entries of the rank-one Laplacian vecMulVec (e i - e j) (e i - e j).
N10 — Inner product against a rank-one Laplacian #
N14 — Schur product of PSD matrices #
The unitary diagonalization of a real Hermitian matrix expands as a sum of real rank-one terms.
Hadamard product against a real rank-one matrix is a diagonal congruence.
A real diagonal congruence preserves positive semidefiniteness.
Schur product theorem (real PSD version): the Hadamard product of positive semidefinite matrices is positive semidefinite.
The entrywise square of a real PSD matrix is PSD.
