摘要: The geometric mean of two positive definite matrices has been defined in several ways and studied by authors, including Pusz Woronowicz, Ando. characterizations these authors do not readily extend to three it a long-standing problem define natural matrices. In some recent papers new understanding the achieved identifying A B as midpoint geodesic (with respect Riemannian metric) joining B. This suggests definitions for We explain necessary background explore properties candidates.
