We present a new necessary and sufficient criterion to check the positive definiteness of Hermitian interval matrices. It is shown that an n Γ n Hermitian interval matrix is positive definite if and only if its 4 n-1 (n -1)! specially chosen Hermitian vertex matrices are positive definite.
Real positive definite Hankel matrices H n have spectral condition numbers which are exponentially increasing with n. This paper attempts to characterize those matrices Δ€n in this class which are minimally conditioned, and to describe some of their properties. We also compute Δ€n explicitly for n 16.
