In this question I let "x1t , x2t, x3t " be the conjugate of x1, x2, x3
The hermitian form
Hc(x) = c*x1t*x1 + 2*x2t*x2 - i*x1t*x2 + i*x2t*x1 + x1t*x3 + x3t*x1
+i*x2t*x3 - i*x3t*x2 (sorry, it`s a bit messy)
For which value of c is Hc ositive definite?
I have tried to find the eignvalue in terms of c by trying to solve the
charactiristic polynomial, but seems too complicate to do, I`ve also tried
to solve by completing the square but not so successful.
So is there any way to solve this without using computer softwares like
maple? Thanks
