Rank inequalities for positive semidefinite matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Several inequalities relating the rank of a positive semidefinite matrix with the ranks of various principal submatrices are presented. These inequalities are analogous to known determinantal inequalities for positive definite matrices, such as Fischer's

A Quantile Model of Firm Investment

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Are firms risk averse? We propose a dynamic model of firm investment under uncertainty that captures firms' risk attitudes through quantile preferences. The firm maximizes its present value, defined as current profits and investment plus the discounted value of the τ$\tau$‐quantile of its value next period.

The Evolution of Interest‐Rate Models: From the Yield Curve to the Swaption Cube

open access: yesJournal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interest‐rate modelling is often taught as a catalogue of competing stochastic equations, obscuring why models were created and why modern sell‐side desks use several simultaneously. This survey reorganises the field around five layers of a pricing architecture: curve construction; arbitrage‐free dynamics; volatility‐smile representation ...

Moore-Penrose inverse of a hollow symmetric matrix and a predistance matrix

open access: yesSpecial Matrices, 2016
By a hollow symmetric matrix we mean a symmetric matrix with zero diagonal elements. The notion contains those of predistance matrix and Euclidean distance matrix as its special cases.

Sparsifying Sums of Positive Semidefinite Matrices

open access: yes
In this paper, we revisit spectral sparsification for sums of arbitrary positive semidefinite (PSD) matrices. Concretely, for any collection of PSD matrices $\mathcal{A} = \{A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_r\} \subset \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, given any subset $T \subseteq [r]$, our goal is to find sparse weights $μ\in \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^r$ such that $(1 - ε ...

Frequency‐dependent contraction rates for the Bayesian method to the inverse source problem

open access: yesTransactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract This paper addresses an inverse source problem for acoustic waves in a range of frequencies. Our study has two main goals. First, although the problem is severely ill‐posed with a logarithmic stability estimate, we demonstrate, through careful analysis of the forward map's singular values, that increasing the frequency range enhances stability,

Certain Positive Semidefinite Matrices of Special Functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Special functions are often defined as a Fourier or Laplace transform of a positive measure, and the positivity of the measure manifests as positive definiteness of certain matrices. The purpose of this expository note is to give a sample of such positive definite matrices to demonstrate this connection for some well-known special functions such as ...

Generalizing the Gaussian Network Model: Spanning‐Tree Thermodynamics Shows Entropy‐Driven KRAS Activation

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1671-1685, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The GTPase KRAS executes a conformational switch between a GTP‐bound active state and a GDP‐bound inactive state, a process central to oncogenic signaling. However, the structural basis of this switching at the level of residue‐contact organization remains incompletely characterized by traditional binary structural models.

A Geometric Mean of Parameterized Arithmetic and Harmonic Means of Convex Functions

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2012
The notion of the geometric mean of two positive reals is extended by Ando (1978) to the case of positive semidefinite matrices A and B. Moreover, an interesting generalization of the geometric mean A # B of A and B to convex functions was introduced by ...
