Suppose that $M$ is a given positive definite $ntimes n$ real matrix. I'm interested in the following sets and their properties
beginalign*
S_1&equivNtext positive semidefinite, dimension ntimes n: M-Ntext is positive semidefinitesubset mathbbM(n),\
S_2&equivxtext dimension ntimes1: M-xx'text is positive semidefinitesubsetmathbbR^n.
endalign*
The problem collapses to triviality when $n=1$ but harder for me to grasp when $ngeq 2$. I will appreciate references to books and articles, with a preference for the former.
