Matrix Partial Orders, Shorted Operators And Applications

The present monograph on matrix partial orders, the first on this topic, makes a unique presentation of many partial orders on matrices that have fascinated mathematicians for their beauty and applied scientists for their wide-ranging application potential. Except for the Löwner order, the partial orders considered are relatively new and came into being in the late 1970s. After a detailed introduction to generalized inverses and decompositions, the three basic partial orders — namely, the minus,
