    The Hadamard product \(A \circ B\) of two matrices \(A = (a_{ij})\) and \(B = (b_{ij})\) of the same size is defined to be the matrix \((a_{ij}b_{ij})\). The author shows that if \(x_ i > 0\), \(1 \leq i \leq n\), and \(q \geq p \geq 0\), the \(n \times n\) matrices \((\sqrt{x_ ix_ j}(x_ i + x_ j)^{-1})\), \(((x_ i^{-1} + x_ j^{- 1})(\sqrt{x_ ix_ j})^{-1})\), and \(((x^ p_ i + x^ p_ j)(x^ q_ i + x^ q_ j)^{-1})\) are positive definite, and relates these facts to some matrix-valued arithmetic-geometric-harmonic mean inequalities, some of which involve Hadamard products and others unitarily invariant norms. It is known that if \(A\) is positive semidefinite, then \(\max\{N(A \circ B): N(B) \leq 1\} = \max a_{ij}\), where \(N\) denotes the spectral norm. The author shows that the converse is false and gives a useful partial converse.
