AI总结:

本研究完整分类了除指定对角块外逐项作用的保正性函数,在更一般框架下首次构造出非绝对单调的无维数保正性函数。

摘要:

关于哪些函数逐项作用保持半正定性的问题有着悠久的历史,始于Schur乘积定理[Crelle 1911],该定理表明绝对单调函数(即具有非负系数的幂级数)在所有维数的矩阵上保持正定性。Schoenberg和Rudin的一个著名结果[Duke Math. J. 1942, 1959]证明了其逆命题:不存在其他这样的函数。受现代应用启发,Guillot和Rajaratnam [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 2015]对所有维数中仅作用于非对角元素的逐项正定性保持函数进行了分类。这两个结果处于“相反的两端”,且在两种情况下,保持函数都必须是绝对单调的。我们完成了除上述两种情况外,在所有情况下对除指定“对角/主块”外逐项作用的保正性函数的分类。(实际上,我们在更一般的框架下实现了这一点。)这首次给出了具有某些禁止主块的、非绝对单调的无维数逐项正定性保持函数的例子。

英文摘要:

The question of which functions acting entrywise preserve positive semidefiniteness has a long history, beginning with the Schur product theorem [Crelle 1911], which implies that absolutely monotonic functions (i.e., power series with nonnegative coefficients) preserve positivity on matrices of all dimensions. A famous result of Schoenberg and of Rudin [Duke Math. J. 1942, 1959] shows the converse: there are no other such functions. Motivated by modern applications, Guillot and Rajaratnam [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 2015] classified the entrywise positivity preservers in all dimensions, which act only on the off-diagonal entries. These two results are at "opposite ends", and in both cases the preservers have to be absolutely monotonic. We complete the classification of positivity preservers that act entrywise except on specified "diagonal/principal blocks", in every case other than the two above. (In fact we achieve this in a more general framework.) This yields the first examples of dimension-free entrywise positivity preservers - with certain forbidden principal blocks - that are not absolutely monotonic.
