Positive definite Hankel matrices of minimal condition (Q1399252): Difference between revisions

This paper attempts to identify and characterize the positive definite Hankel matrices of minimal spectral condition, which are denoted by \(\hat{H}_n\). The author describes some properties of \(\hat{H}_n\) for general \(n\), and shows that these matrices have a special zero pattern. He also explores an alternative formulation involving Vandermonde matrices. Finally, he computes \(\hat{H}_n\) explicitly for \(n\) even and odd, for small values of \(n\), \(n \leq 16\).
