ON THE INERTIA OF SOME CLASSES OF PARTITIONED MATRICES.

Abstract

The paper is concerned with the determination of the inertia triple for certain partitioned Hermitian matrices. We make repeated use of the Sylvester-Hermite theorem that the inertia of an Hermitian matrix remains invariant under a cogredient transformation. That is, if K = P* HP, where P is a non-singular matrix and H is Hermitian, then K is also Hermitian, and In K = In H. (Author)
