Ordering positive definite matrices

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We introduce new partial orders on the set Sn+ of positive-definite matrices of dimension n derived from the homogeneous geometry of Sn+ induced by the natural transitive action of the general linear group GL(n). The orders are induced by affine-invariant cone fields, which arise naturally from a local analysis of the orders that are compatible with the homogeneous structure of Sn+. We then take a geometric approach to the study of monotone functions on Sn+ and establish a number of relevant results, including an extension of the well-known L"owner-Heinz theorem derived using differential positivity with respect to affine-invariant cone fields.
