Hadamard inverses, square roots and products of almost semidefinite matrices.
(English)
[J] Linear Algebra Appl. 288, No.1-3, 35-43 (1999). ISSN 0024-3795

Hadamard products, inverses, and square roots of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices $A,B$ with all positive entries, having just one positive eigenvalue, are studied. The result by {\it R. B. Bapat} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 102, No. 3, 467-472 (1988; Zbl 0647.60019)] on positive semidefiniteness of the Hadamard inverses $A^{0(-1)}$ is extended. It is shown that if $A$ is invertible then $A^{0(-1)}$ is positive definite. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given on the invertibility of $A^{0(-1)}$. The Hadamard square root has just one positive eigenvalue and is invertible if $A$ is a symmetric matrix, with all diagonal entries zero. An inequality is derived for $A\circ B$.
