Abstract

In this expository study some basic matrix inequalities obtained by embedding bilinear forms 〈Ax, x〉 and 〈Ax, y〉 into 2 × 2 matrices are investigated. Many classical inequalities are reproved or refined by the proposed unified approach. Some inequalities involving the matrix absolute value |A| are given. A new proof of Ky Fan’s singular value majorization theorem is presented.
