The results extend previous work on totally nonnegative matrices.
Provides a unified framework for inequalities in positive semi-definite matrices.
Abstract
We describe all inequalities among generalized diagonals in positive semi-definite matrices. These turn out to be governed by a simple partial order on the symmetric group. This provides an analogue of results of Drake, Gerrish, and Skandera on inequalities among generalized diagonals in totally nonnegative matrices.
