In mathematics, a positive-definite function is, depending on the context, either of two types of function.
Definition 1
Let be the set of real numbers and be the set of complex numbers.
A function is called positive semi-definite if for any[clarification needed] real numbers x1, …, xn the n × n matrix
is a positive semi-definite matrix.[citation needed]
By definition, a positive semi-definite matrix, such as , is Hermitian; therefore f(−x) is the complex conjugate of f(x)).
In particular, it is necessary (but not sufficient) that
(these inequalities follow from the condition for n = 1, 2.)
A function is negative semi-definite if the inequality is reversed. A function is definite if the weak inequality is replaced with a strong (<, > 0).
Examples
If is a real inner product space, then , is positive definite for every : for all and all we have
As nonnegative linear combinations of positive definite functions are again positive definite, the cosine function is positive definite as a nonnegative linear combination of the above functions:
One can create a positive definite function easily from positive definite function for any vector space : choose a linear function and define . Then
