Positive Definite Matrices

This file defines positive (semi)definite matrices and connects the notion to positive definiteness of quadratic forms. Most results require 𝕜 = ℝ or ℂ.

Main definitions

• Matrix.PosDef : a matrix M : Matrix n n 𝕜 is positive definite if it is hermitian and xᴴMx is greater than zero for all nonzero x.
• Matrix.PosSemidef : a matrix M : Matrix n n 𝕜 is positive semidefinite if it is hermitian and xᴴMx is nonnegative for all x.

Main results

• Matrix.posSemidef_iff_eq_conjTranspose_mul_self : a matrix M : Matrix n n 𝕜 is positive semidefinite iff it has the form Bᴴ * B for some B.
• Matrix.posDef_iff_eq_conjTranspose_mul_self : a matrix M : Matrix n n 𝕜 is positive definite iff it has the form Bᴴ * B for some invertible B.
• Matrix.PosSemidef.sqrt : the unique positive semidefinite square root of a positive semidefinite matrix. (See Matrix.PosSemidef.eq_sqrt_of_sq_eq for the proof of uniqueness.)
