Congruence of positive semi-definite matrices to identity matrix

433 Views Asked by At

Let $A$ be a positive semi-definite matrix. I want to know if $A$ is congruent to $I_{n}$ which is a $n$ by $n$ identity matrix. Here, Congruence means there exists an invertible matrix $P$ such that $I_{n}=PAP^{T}$. Thanks in advance.
