In the current work, we analyze the spectral distribution of the geometric mean of two or more matrix-sequences constituted by Hermitian positive definite matrices, under the assumption that all input matrix-sequences belong to the same Generalized Locally Toeplitz (GLT) ∗-algebra. We consider the geometric mean for two matrices, using the Ando-Li-Mathias (ALM) definition, and then we pass to the extension of the idea to more than two matrices by introducing the Karcher mean. While there is no simple formula for the geometric mean of more than two matrices, iterative methods from the literature are employed to compute it. The main novelty of the work is the extension of the study in the distributional sense when input matrix-sequences belong to one of the GLT ∗-algebras. More precisely, we show that the geometric mean of more than two positive definite GLT matrix-sequences forms a new GLT matrix-sequence, with the GLT symbol given by the geometric mean of the individual symbols. Numerical experiments are reported concerning scalar and block GLT matrix-sequences in both one-dimensional and two-dimensional cases. A section with conclusions and open problems ends the current work. Full article

In this paper, we investigate the iterative methods for the solution of different types of nonlinear matrix equations. More specifically, we consider iterative methods for the minimal nonnegative solution of a set of Riccati equations, a nonnegative solution of a quadratic matrix equation, and the maximal positive definite solution of the equation X+AX1A=Q. We study the recent iterative methods for computing the solution to the above specific type of equations and propose more effective modifications of these iterative methods. In addition, we make comments and comparisons of the existing methods and show the effectiveness of our methods by illustration examples. Full article

It is necessary to explore more accurate estimates of the infinity norm of the inverse of a matrix in both theoretical analysis and practical applications. This paper focuses on obtaining a tighter upper bound on the infinite norm of the inverse of Dashnic–Zusmanovich-type (DZT) matrices. The realization of this goal benefits from constructing the scaling matrix of DZT matrices and the diagonal dominant degrees of Schur complements of DZT matrices. The effectiveness and superiority of the obtained bounds are demonstrated through several numerical examples involving random variables. Moreover, a lower bound for the smallest singular value is given by using the proposed bound. Full article

The paper presents a rigorous perturbation analysis of the QR decomposition A=QR of an n×m matrix A using the method of splitting operators. New asymptotic componentwise perturbation bounds are derived for the elements of Q and R and the subspaces spanned by the first pm columns of A. The new bounds are less conservative than the known bounds and are significantly better than the normwise bounds. An iterative scheme is proposed to determine global componentwise bounds in the case of perturbations for which such bounds are valid. Several numerical results are given that illustrate the analysis and the quality of the bounds obtained. Full article
