A Duality Reformulation of the Companion-Matrix Lyapunov Problem
We study the relation between positive semidefiniteness and entrywise nonnegativity for solutions of continuous-time Lyapunov equations. For a real Hurwitz matrix $A$, we show that the solution of $AP+PA^\top=-Q$ is positive semidefinite for every symmetric entrywise nonnegative $Q$ if and only if the solution of $A^\t...
