WIM Graduate Student Seminar

NOTE: Time change!!

WHEN : Wednesday, February 25, at 1pm
WHERE : Room 2400, Department of Mathematics
TITLE : Completely positive and doubly non-negative completion on partial matrices
SPEAKER : Angela McKay ABSTRACT : The problem discussed in this talk is the question of when a partial matrix whose specified entries satisfy the Doubly Non-Negative (resp. Completly Positive) criterion can be completed to a Doubly Non-Negative (resp. Completely Positive) matrix. It is known that if the graph of the partial matrix is block-clique and meets certain cycle conditions, then it can be completed. We show that this sufficient condition is in fact necessary.

ALL GRADUATE STUDENTS ARE WELCOME!!
