Edmonds matrix

In mathematics, Sylvester’s criterion is a necessary and sufficient criterion to determine whether a Hermitian matrix is positive-definite. It is named after James Joseph Sylvester.

Sylvester's criterion states that a Hermitian matrix M is positive-definite if and only if all the following matrices have a positive determinant:

the upper left 1-by-1 corner of $M$ ,
the upper left 2-by-2 corner of $M$ ,
the upper left 3-by-3 corner of $M$ ,
...
$M$ itself.

In other words, all of the leading principal minors must be positive.

Proof

The proof is only for nonsingular Hermitian matrix with coefficients in $ℝ$ , therefore only for nonsingular real-symmetric matrices

Positive Definite or Semidefinite Matrix: A symmetric matrix $A$ whose eigenvalues are positive (λ>0) is called positive definite, and when the eigenvalues are just nonnegative (λ≥0), $A$ is said to be positive semidefinite.

Theorem I: A real-symmetric matrix $A$ has nonnegative eigenvalues if and only if $A$ can be factored as $A = B^{T} B$ , and all eigenvalues are positive if and only if $B$ is nonsingular.^[1]

Proof:

Forward implication: If A ∈ R^nxn is symmetric, then, by the Spectral theorem, there is an orthogonal matrix P such that A = PDP^T , where D = diag (λ₁, λ₂, . . . , λ_n) is real diagonal matrix with entries - eigenvalues of A and P is such that its columns are the eigenvectors of A. If λ_i ≥ 0 for each i, then D^1/2 exists, so A = PDP^T = PD^1/2D^1/2P^T = B^TB for B = D^1/2P^T, and λ_i > 0 for each i if and only if B is nonsingular.

Reverse implication: Conversely, if A can be factored as A = B^TB, then all eigenvalues of A are nonnegative because for any eigenpair (λ, x):

λ= $\frac{x^{T} A x}{x^{T} x} = \frac{x^{T} B^{T} B x}{x^{T} x} = \frac{| | B x | |^{2}}{| | x | |^{2}}$ ≥0.

Theorem II (The Cholesky decomposition): The symmetric matrix A possesses positive pivots if and only if A can be uniquely factored as A = R^TR, where R is an upper-triangular matrix with positive diagonal entries. This is known as the Cholesky decomposition of A, and R is called the Cholesky factor of A.^[2]

Proof:

Forward implication: If A possesses positive pivots (therefore A possesses an LU factorization: A=L.U' ), then, it has an LDU factorization A = LDU=LDL^T in which D = diag (u₁₁, u₂₂, . . . , u_nn) is the diagonal matrix containing the pivots u_ii > 0.

A = L U^{'} = [\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 & . & 0 \\ l_{12} & 1 & . & 0 \\ . & . & . & . \\ l_{1 n} & l_{2 n} & . & 1 \end{matrix}]

x

[\begin{matrix} u_{11} & u_{12} & . & u_{1 n} \\ 0 & u_{22} & . & u_{2 n} \\ . & . & . & . \\ 0 & 0 & . & u_{n n} \end{matrix}] = L D U = [\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 & . & 0 \\ l_{12} & 1 & . & 0 \\ . & . & . & . \\ l_{1 n} & l_{2 n} & . & 1 \end{matrix}]

x

[\begin{matrix} u_{11} & 0 & . & 0 \\ 0 & u_{22} & . & 0 \\ . & . & . & . \\ 0 & 0 & . & u_{n n} \end{matrix}]

x

[\begin{matrix} 1 & u_{12} / u_{11} & . & u_{1 n} / u_{11} \\ 0 & 1 & . & u_{2 n} / u_{22} \\ . & . & . & . \\ 0 & 0 & . & 1 \end{matrix}]

By a uniqueness property of the LDU decomposition, the symmetry of A yields: U=L^T, consequently A=LDU=LDL^T. Setting R = D^1/2L^T where D^1/2 = diag( $\sqrt{u_{11}}, \sqrt{u_{22}}, . . ., \sqrt{u_{11}}$ ) yields the desired factorization, because A = LD^1/2D^1/2L^T = R^TR, and R is upper triangular with positive diagonal entries.

Reverse implication: Conversely, if A = RR^T , where R is lower triangular with a positive diagonal, then factoring the diagonal entries out of R is as follows:

R = L D = [\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 & . & 0 \\ r_{12} / r_{11} & 1 & . & 0 \\ . & . & . & . \\ r_{1 n} / r_{11} & r_{2 n} / r_{22} & . & 1 \end{matrix}]

x

[\begin{matrix} r_{11} & 0 & . & 0 \\ 0 & r_{22} & . & 0 \\ . & . & . & . \\ 0 & 0 & . & r_{n n} \end{matrix}] .

R = LD, where L is lower triangular with a unit diagonal and D is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal entries are the r_ii ’s. Consequently, A = LD²L^T is the LDU factorization for A, and thus the pivots must be positive because they are the diagonal entries in D².

Theorem III: Let A_k be the k × k leading principal submatrix of A_n×n. If A has an LU factorization A = LU, then det(A_k) = u₁₁u₂₂ · · · u_kk, and the k-th pivot is u_kk =det(A₁) = a₁₁ for k = 1, u_kk=det(A_k)/det(A_k−1) for k = 2, 3, . . . , n.^[3]

Combining Theorem II with Theorem III yields:

Statement I: If the symmetric matrix A can be factored as A=R^TR where R is an upper-triangular matrix with positive diagonal entries, then all the pivots of A are positive (by Theorem II), therefore all the leading principal minors of A are positive (by Theorem III).

Statement II: If the nonsingular symmetric matrix A can be factored as $A = B^{T} B$ , then the QR decomposition (closely related to Gram-Schmidt process) of B (B=QR) yields: $A = B^{T} B = R^{T} Q^{T} Q R = R^{T} R$ , where Q is orthogonal matrix and R is upper triangular matrix.

Namely Statement II requires the non-singularity of the symmetric matrix A.

Combining Theorem I with Statement I and Statement II yields:

Statement III: If the real-symmetric matrix A is positive definite then A possess factorization of the form A=B^TB, where B is nonsingular (Theorem I), the expression A=B^TB implies that A possess factorization of the form A=R^TR where R is an upper-triangular matrix with positive diagonal entries (Statement II), therefore all the leading principal minors of A are positive (Statement I).

In other words, Statement III states:

Sylvester's Criterion: The real-symmetric matrix A is positive definite if and only if all the leading principal minors of A are positive.

The sufficiency and necessity conditions automatically hold because they were proven for each of the above theorems.

Many property agents need to declare for the PIC grant in Singapore. However, not all of them know find out how to do the correct process for getting this PIC scheme from the IRAS. There are a number of steps that you need to do before your software can be approved.

Naturally, you will have to pay a safety deposit and that is usually one month rent for annually of the settlement. That is the place your good religion deposit will likely be taken into account and will kind part or all of your security deposit. Anticipate to have a proportionate amount deducted out of your deposit if something is discovered to be damaged if you move out. It's best to you'll want to test the inventory drawn up by the owner, which can detail all objects in the property and their condition. If you happen to fail to notice any harm not already mentioned within the inventory before transferring in, you danger having to pay for it yourself.

In case you are in search of an actual estate or Singapore property agent on-line, you simply should belief your intuition. It's because you do not know which agent is nice and which agent will not be. Carry out research on several brokers by looking out the internet. As soon as if you end up positive that a selected agent is dependable and reliable, you can choose to utilize his partnerise in finding you a home in Singapore. Most of the time, a property agent is taken into account to be good if he or she locations the contact data on his website. This may mean that the agent does not mind you calling them and asking them any questions relating to new properties in singapore in Singapore. After chatting with them you too can see them in their office after taking an appointment.

Once you place down the one per cent choice price to carry down a non-public property, it's important to accept its situation as it is whenever you move in – faulty air-con, choked rest room and all. Get round this by asking your agent to incorporate a ultimate inspection clause within the possibility-to-buy letter. HDB flat patrons routinely take pleasure in this security net. "There's a ultimate inspection of the property two days before the completion of all HDB transactions. If the air-con is defective, you can request the seller to repair it," says Kelvin.

15.6.1 As the agent is an intermediary, generally, as soon as the principal and third party are introduced right into a contractual relationship, the agent drops out of the image, subject to any problems with remuneration or indemnification that he could have against the principal, and extra exceptionally, against the third occasion.
