Is this matrix positive semidefinite (Symmetric matrix, with particular pattern)












0












$begingroup$


Let's consider a symmetric matrix A.



If for each row, the diagonal entry is equal or larger than the magnitude of any other element, that is



$$a_{ii} geq |a_{ij}| quadtext{for all rows } i text{ and entries } j , ,$$



then the matrix is positive semi-definite

          It's false, I've just this counterexample.



          $$begin{pmatrix}
          1 & 0.9 & 0.9 \
          0.9 & 1 & 0.1 \
          0.9 & 0.1 & 1
          end{pmatrix}$$

          is indefinite, since the eigenvalues are $0.9$ and $(21 pm sqrt{649})/20$.
