Copositive matrix

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, specifically linear algebra, a real symmetric matrix A is copositive if

x^TAx\geq 0

for every nonnegative vector x\geq 0. The collection of all copositive matrices is a proper cone; it includes as a subset the collection of real positive-definite matrices.

Copositive matrices find applications in economics, operations research, and statistics.
