What are the basis vectors of the cone of positive semi definite matrices?

509 Views Asked by At

I was wondering if we could find a set of basis vectors that span the cone of positive semidefinite matrices?

I know this question is hard, but I would really appreciate if even someone can share a related paper about this topic in the literature of Linear Algebra. I could not find any paper about this issue. I should mention that any answer to this question should be highly related to the topic of semidefinite programming in the area of mathematical optimization.

Thanks
