``positive definite matrices'' by silence on 2003-08-26 14:54:00
What is the quickest way (visually) to determine whether a matrix is positive definite or not? Can it be done by inspection? (i.e., for matrices with both positive and negative values)? Is a matrix with a positive determinant necessarily positive definite?
