Positive Powers of Positive Positive Definite Matrices

Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 1996
AbstractLet C be an n x n positive definite matrix. If C ≥ 0 in the sense that Cij ≥ 0 and if p > n — 2, then Cp ≥ 0. This implies the following "positive minorant property" for the norms ‖A‖p = [tr(A*A)p/2]1/P. Let 2 < p ≠ 4, 6, … . Then 0 ≤ A ≤ B => ‖A‖p ≥ ‖B‖P if and only if n < p/2 + 1.
