Dualistic differential geometry of positive definite matrices and its applications to related problems (Q2564944)

A differential geometric theory of the set of \(n\) by \(n\) real positive definite symmetric matrices is developed by means of a specific class of connections. As a consequence, various dualistic aspects of the set are elucidated. Using the theory, new results and interesting geometrical interpretations for matrix approximation, positive definite matrix completion, and linear matrix inequality problems are derived.
