View on Github →chore: generalize Matrix.PosDef
to non-commutative rings (#29150)
This lets this be used for matrices of quaternions.
57 citations of https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.12211 suggests that there is at least some agreement that this is a reasonable generalization. Perhaps a stronger argument for it being reasonable is that almost all the proofs continue working.
Obviously the results about transpose
only hold in the commutative case.
