  2. Hilbert matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_matrix

    The Hilbert matrix is also totally positive (meaning that the determinant of every submatrix is positive). The Hilbert matrix is an example of a Hankel matrix. It is also a specific example of a Cauchy matrix. The determinant can be expressed in closed form, as a special case of the Cauchy determinant. The determinant of the n × n Hilbert ...

  3. Positive operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_operator

    We show below that for a complex Hilbert space the self adjointness follows automatically from non-negativity. For a real Hilbert space non-negativity does not imply self adjointness. In physics (specifically quantum mechanics), such operators represent quantum states, via the density matrix formalism.

  4. POVM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POVM

    In functional analysis and quantum information science, a positive operator-valued measure (POVM) is a measure whose values are positive semi-definite operators on a Hilbert space. POVMs are a generalization of projection-valued measures (PVM) and, correspondingly, quantum measurements described by POVMs are a generalization of quantum ...

  7. Normal operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_operator

    In mathematics, especially functional analysis, a normal operator on a complex Hilbert space H is a continuous linear operator N : H → H that commutes with its Hermitian adjoint N*, that is: NN* = N*N. [1] Normal operators are important because the spectral theorem holds for them. The class of normal operators is well understood.

  8. Positive-definite kernel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive-definite_kernel

    In operator theory, a branch of mathematics, a positive-definite kernel is a generalization of a positive-definite function or a positive-definite matrix. It was first introduced by James Mercer in the early 20th century, in the context of solving integral operator equations. Since then, positive-definite functions and their various analogues ...
