The optimization on ranks and inertias of a quadratic Hermitian matrix function and its applications (Q2375730): Difference between revisions

Summary: We solve optimization problems on the ranks and inertias of the quadratic Hermitian matrix function \(Q - XPX^\ast\) subject to a consistent system of matrix equations \(AX = C\) and \(XB = D\). As applications, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability to the systems of matrix equations and matrix inequalities \(AX = C\), \(XB = D\), and \(XPX^\ast = (>, <, \geq, leq)Q\) in the Löwner partial ordering to be feasible, respectively. The findings of this paper widely extend the known results in the literature.
