Hi everyone,
Let [tex] A=(a_{ij})[/tex] be a symmetric (i.e., over reals) PSD matrix. Then is the following correct?
"If any principle minor ( [tex] \ne A [/tex] ) be zero, then all principle minor contained in this minor should also be zero".
I can not prove or disprove it..any help?
By the way how the result will change if we consider Hermitian matrix (over complex) instead of symmetric matrix?
Thanks
