We consider approximation of a given positive definite matrix by nonnegative definite banded Toeplitz matrices. We show that the projection on linear space of Toeplitz matrices does not always preserve nonnegative definiteness. Therefore we characterize a convex cone of nonnegative definite banded Toeplitz matrices which depends on the matrix dimensions, and we show that the condition of positive definiteness given by Parter [{\em Numer. Math. 4}, 293--295, 1962] characterizes the asymptotic cone. In this paper we give methodology and numerical algorithm of the projection basing on the properties of a cone of nonnegative definite Toeplitz matrices. This problem can be applied in statistics, for example in the estimation of unknown covariance structures under the multi-level multivariate models, where positive definiteness is required. We conduct simulation studies to compare statistical properties of the estimators obtained by projection on the cone with a given matrix dimension and on the asymptotic cone.

The nonlinear matrix equation,X-∑i=1mAi*XδiAi=Q,with-1≤δi<0is investigated. A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets is proved. And then, by means of this fixed point theorem, the existence of a unique Hermitian positive definite solution for the matrix equation is derived. Some properties of the unique Hermitian positive definite solution are obtained. A residual bound of an approximate solution to the equation is evaluated. The theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples.

Definite Solution

In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions for the matrix equation to have a positive definite solution are derived, where , is an identity matrix, are nonsingular real matrices, and is an odd positive integer. These conditions are used to propose some properties on the matrices , . Moreover, relations between the solution and the matrices are derived.
