โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we analyze and characterize the cone of nonsymmetric positive semidefinite matrices (NS-psd). Firstly, we study basic properties of the geometry of the NS-psd cone and show that it is a hyperbolic but not homogeneous cone. Secondly, we prove that the NS-psd cone is a maximal convex subcone of P 0 -matrix cone which is not convex. But the interior of the NS-psd cone is not a maximal convex subcone of P-matrix cone. As the byproducts, some new sufficient and necessary conditions for a nonsymmetric matrix to be positive semidefinite are given. Finally, we present some properties of metric projection onto the NS-psd cone.

A function f from the symmetric group S n into R is called a class function if it is constant on each conjugacy class. Let d f be the generalized matrix function associated with f, mapping the n-by-n Hermitian matrices to R. For example, if f (ฯ ) = sgn(ฯ ), then d f (A) = det A. Let K n (K n (R)) d
two psd matrices is psd if and only if the product is normal.
