The intrinsic contrast in the printed form #
The reference text writes the intrinsic contrast of a doubled block matrix as the
minimum over skew h of the conjugated norms
|σ_*^{-1/2}(σ + (k - h)ᵗ σ_*⁻¹ (k - h)) σ_*^{-1/2}|
(the intrinsic contrast of the reference block, and e.Theta.m), and the
reference constant Λ_0 as the corresponding unconjugated minimum
(e.reference.aspect.ratio). This file proves that the Loewner-scaling encodings
blockContrast and bigLambdaRef are the infima of exactly those families:
the conjugation identity turns comparison with t σ_* into comparison of the
conjugate with t I, and the threshold form of the infimum is the infimum of the
family.
Infima over the skew parameter #
The skew-corrected Schur form σ + (k - h)ᵗ σ_*⁻¹ (k - h) of a doubled block
matrix: the matrix whose norm the reference text minimizes over skew h.
Equations

Instances For
Λ_0 in printed form. The reference constant is the infimum over skew
h of the norms |σ_0 + (k_0 - h)ᵗ σ_{*,0}^{-1} (k_0 - h)|.
The conjugation identity #
The conjugation identity. For an invertible symmetric R with
R σ R = 1, comparison with t σ in the Loewner order is comparison of the
conjugate R M R with t I.
Positivity of the Schur block #
The lower-right block of a symmetric doubled block matrix is Hermitian.
The lower-right block of a symmetric positive definite doubled block matrix is positive semidefinite.
The lower-right block of a positive definite doubled block matrix is invertible.
The conjugating matrix is the inverse square root of the Schur block: the
lower-right block is σ_*⁻¹, so matSqrt H.lowerRight is σ_*^{-1/2}.
The intrinsic contrast in printed form. On a symmetric positive definite
doubled block matrix the Loewner-scaling infimum is the infimum over skew h of
the conjugated norms
|σ_*^{-1/2} (σ + (k - h)ᵗ σ_*⁻¹ (k - h)) σ_*^{-1/2}|;
the conjugating matrix is the positive semidefinite square root of
σ_*⁻¹ = H.lowerRight.
