1. Introduction. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for a real quadratic form to be positive definite on a linear manifold, in a real vector space, explicit in terms of the dual Grassmann coordinates for the manifold.

1. In a recent paper(1), Afriat has given necessary and sufficient conditions for a real quadratic form to be positive definite on a linear manifold, in terms of the dual Grassmannian coordinates of the manifold. Considerable matrix manipulations were used in Afriat's method, but most of these may be avoided by the method of the present paper, which depends on some well-known properties of the Grassmannian coordinates. We first show that the conditions may be expressed as a set of inequalities which are quadratic in the Grassmannian coordinates of the manifold. Then, by a standard theorem, these may be transformed into Afriat's conditions on the dual coordinates.

We study the Hermitian positive definite solutions of the nonlinear matrix equationX+A∗X−2A=I, whereAis ann×nnonsingular matrix. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Hermitian positive definite solution of this equation are given. However, based on the necessary and sufficient conditions, some properties and the equivalent equations ofX+A∗X−2A=Iare presented while the matrix equation has a Hermitian positive definite solution.

Let k be a field of characteristic 0, A a noncommutative Poisson k-algebra, U(A) the ordinary enveloping algebra of A, 𝒞 a quasi-Poisson A-coring that is projective as a left A-module, *𝒞 the left dual ring of 𝒞 (it is a right U(A)-module algebra) and Λ a right quasi-Poisson 𝒞-comodule that is finitely generated as a right U(A)#*𝒞-module. The vector space End 𝒫,𝒞(Λ) of right quasi-Poisson 𝒞-colinear maps from Λ to Λ is a ring. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for projectivity and flatness of a module over End 𝒫,𝒞(Λ). If 𝒞 contains a fixed quasi-Poisson grouplike element, we can replace Λ with A.

The concept of a reflexive algebra (σ-algebra)βof subsets of a setXis defined in this paper. Various characterizations are given for an algebra (σ-algebra)βto be reflexive. IfVis a real vector lattice of functions on a setXwhich is closed for pointwise limits of functions and ifβ={A|A⫅X   and   CA(x)∈V}is theσ-algebra induced byVthen necessary and sufficient conditions are given forβto be reflexive (whereCA(x)is the indicator function).

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.

<abstract><p>In this paper, we consider the common Re-nonnegative definite (Re-nnd) and Re-positive definite (Re-pd) solutions to a pair of linear matrix equations $ A_1XA_1^\ast = C_1, \ A_2XA_2^\ast = C_2 $ and present some necessary and sufficient conditions for their solvability as well as the explicit expressions for the general common Re-nnd and Re-pd solutions when the consistent conditions are satisfied.</p></abstract>
