Positive Definite Matrices by Rajendra Bhatia

This book represents the first synthesis of the considerable body of new research into positive definite matrices. These matrices play the same role in noncommutative analysis as positive real numbers do in classical analysis. They have theoretical and computational uses across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including calculus, electrical enginee
Written by an expert in the area, the book presents in an accessible manner a lot of important results from the realm of positive matrices and of their applications.. The book can be used for graduate courses in linear algebra, or as supplementary material for courses in operator theory, and as a reference book by engineers and researchers working in the applied field of quantum information.--S. Cobzas, Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai, Mathematica There is no obvious competitor for Bhatia's book, due in part to its focus, but also because it contains some very recent material drawn from research articles. Beautifully written and intelligently organised, Positive Definite Matrices is a welcome addition to the literature. Readers who admired his Matrix Analysis will no doubt appreciate this latest book of Rajendra Bhatia.--Douglas Farenick, Image This is an outstanding book. Its exposition is both concise and leisurely at the same time.--Jaspal Singh Aujla, Zentralblatt MATH
Rajendra Bhatia is Professor of Mathematics at the Indian Statistical Institute in New Delhi. He is the author of five books, including Matrix Analysis.
