Transcribed Image Text:Definition A matrix A E R"x" is said to be positive definite if it is symmetric
and has an LU factorization in which each pivot is positive.
The following statements are equivalent:
(i) A is positive definite.
A can be factored as A
diagonal entries.
Ax> 0 for all nonzero xER".

RTR where R is an upper triangular matrix with positive
Prove the equiv ences (i) <--> (ii), (ii) <---> (iii), (i) <--> (iii)
Hint: The following theorems may hep:
Let A € R¹x¹ be an arbitrary matrix such that y¹Cy > 0 for all nonzero vectors y E R¹
Thm 1: The matrix A is nonsingular
Thm 2: For k = 1,...,n, the leading principal submatrix Ak satisfies g¹Akg > 0 for all nonzero vectors g € R¹, and hence
each matrix Ak is also nonsingular
