Positive definiteness and eigenvalue ellipses

149 Views Asked by At

if non-symmetric square matrices A and B holds the following inequality:

A $\ge$ B

Can I say that matrix A's eigenvalue ellipse encloses that of B's in case of 2D?

By eigenvalue ellipse, I mean an ellipse formed by semi major axis with the magnitude of bigger eigenvalue directed in the associated eigenvector, and semi minor axis vice-versa with the smaller eigenvalue.

Thank you.
