THE OPPENHEIM-TYPE INEQUALITIES FOR THE HADAMARD PRODUCT OF M-MATRIX AND POSITIVE DEFINITE MATRIX

For the lower bound about the determinant of Hadamard product of A and B, where A is a n × n real positive definite matrix and B is a n × n M-matrix, Jianzhou Liu [SLAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 18(2)(1997): 305-311]obtained the estimated inequality as follows det(A o B)≥a11b11 nⅡk=2(bkk detAk/detAk-1+detBk/detBk-1(k-1Ei=1 aikaki/aii))=Ln(A,B),where Ak is kth order sequential principal sub-matrix of A. We establish an improved lower bound of the form Yn(A,B)=a11baa nⅡk=2(bkk detAk/detAk-1+akk detBk/detBk-1-detAdetBk/detak-1detBk-1)≥Ln(A,B).For more weaker and practical lower bound, Liu given thatdet(A o B)≥(nⅡi=1 bii)detA+(nⅡi=1 aii)detB(nⅡk=2 k-1Ei=1 aikaki/aiiakk)=(L)n(A,B).We further improve it as Yn(A,B)=(nⅡi=1 bii)detA+(nⅡi=1 aii)detB-(detA)(detB)+max1≤k≤n wn(A,B,k)≥(nⅡi=1 bii)detA+(nⅡi=1 aii)detB-(detA)(detB)≥(L)n(A,B).
