Abstract

Bergstrom's inequality is generalized. Using the new inequality, several interesting results concerning Hadamard product of matrices are proved. More specifically, let P,Q ε{lunate} CN×N such that P>0 and Q≥0, Qii>0. Then we prove the following tight inequalities: (a) Qii[(P⊙Q)-1]ii≤ (P-1ii; (b) Qii{[Re(P⊙Q)]-1}ii ≤ max {[Re(φPφ*)]-1}ii; (c) det(P⊙Q)≥ (detP)πNi=1 Qii; (d) det Re(P⊙ Q) ≥ min det[Re(φPφ*)]πNi=1 Qii, where in (b) and (d) maximization and minimization are over all unitary diagonal matrices φε{lunate}CN×N.
