Positivity of Block Tridiagonal Matrices
From MaRDI portal
The authors give some results concerning the disconjugacy of linear Hamiltonian difference systems \[ \Delta x_k = A_k x_{k+1} + B_k u_k,\quad \Delta u_k = C_k x_{k+1} - A_k^T u_k \] and hence positive definiteness of the discrete quadratic functional \[ {\mathcal F}(x,u) ={\sum_{k=0}^N} \{u_k^T B_k u_k + x_{k+1}^T C_k x_{k+1}\} \] to positive definiteness of a certain block tridiagonal symmetric matrix. In particular, a Sturm-Liouville difference equation is studied and its corresponding quadratic functional.
