On GCD, LCM and Hilbert matrices and their applications. (Q1412551): Difference between revisions

Recall that the Hilbert matrix is the Hadamard inverse of the Hankel matrix. The authors give different inequalities between norms of the GCD, LCM and Hilbert matrices. The results depend upon the functions related to the number theory. For example, if \(G\) is an \(n\times n\) GCD matrix, then \(\det(G)= \varphi(1) \varphi(2) \cdots \varphi(n)\), \(\varphi\) being Euler's totient function, and moreover \(\det(G)^{1/n}\leq {1\over\sqrt{n}}\| G\|_F\), where \(\| G\|_F\) denotes the Frobenius norm of \(G\), i.e. the norm of \(G\) as the vector of \(n^2\) Euclidean space.
