If the n X n Hermitian matrix A has a principal submatrix Aj satisfying the following:
the determinant of a Hermitian matrix is defined by putting det A = [rdet.sub.i] A = [cdet.sub.i] A for all i = 1, ..., n.
Actually, (37) implies that g([[phi].sub.k]) is the eigenvector associated with the minimum eigenvalue of the Hermitian matrix [V.sup.H]([[??].sub.k])[E.sub.N][E.sup.H.sub.N]V([[??].sub.k]).
For a Gaussian random Hermitian matrix [rho](M) [varies] exp - (1/2[[sigma].sup.2])Tr([M.sup.2]), the eigenvalue density obeys Wigner's semicircle law:
For a Hermitian matrix, the Moore's determinant is defined by specifying a certain ordering of the factors in the n!
A Hermitian matrix polynomial Q([lambda]) is definite if and only if any two (and hence all) of the following properties hold:
Since (PA(e) + [(A[(e)).sup.H] P).sup.H] = PA(e) + [(A(e)).sup.H] P, then PA(e) + [(A(e)).sup.H] P is a Hermitian matrix. At the same time, since PA(e) + [(A(e)).sup.H] P = -Q, P is a real symmetric positive definite matrix, and Q is a positive definite matrix, then [[beta].sup.H] P[beta] > 0 and [[beta].sup.H] (-Q) [beta] < 0, so that
Finally, the notations d * and [lambda] * represent the main diagonal elements and eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix, respectively.
We also denote by G the n x n hermitian matrix [([g.sub.ij]).sup.n.sub.i,j=1], and set [1.sub.n] for the n x n identity matrix.
