POSITIVE-DEFINITE MATRICES OVER FINITE FIELDS
POSITIVE-DEFINITE MATRICES OVER FINITE FIELDS
The study of positive-definite matrices has focused on Hermitian matrices, that is, square matrices with complex (or real) entries that are equal to their own conjugate transposes. In the classical setting, positive-definite matrices enjoy a multitude of equivalent definitions and properties. We investigate when a square, symmetric matrix with entries …
