I am working on a matrix with all the diagonal entries are strictly positive while every other entry is strictly negative. This matrix is symmetric as well.
I want to show that this matrix is semipositive definite.
Since the trace is strictly positive, I know that the sum of the all eigenvalues (the roots of characteristic polynomial) is also strictly positive, but I am not sure whether each eigenvalues are nonnegative.
What is the best way to show this matrix is semipositive definite?
Answer
It's not true. $\begin{bmatrix}1 & -2\\-2 & 1\end{bmatrix}$ is a simple counter example
