Matrix Inequalities

Matrix inequalities involve comparing matrices, which are like tables of numbers, to determine if one matrix is "less than" another in a specific way. Just as we can compare numbers, we can examine matrices based on their positive or negative nature. A common example is the positive semi-definite matrix, where all its eigenvalues (a type of characteristic value) are non-negative. This concept is important in various fields, such as optimization and statistics, where understanding relationships between different multi-dimensional data sets is crucial for making informed decisions or predictions.
