Can the following conclusion hold?




There exist matrices $H^iinmathbbR^mtimes n, (mleq n, iinmathcalN)$, and non-zero real numbers $underlineh^i$, and $overlineh^i$.
If the following inequality holds
beginalign
underlineh^i^2 I_mleq H^i (H^i)^T leq overlineh^i^2 I_m
endalign
and
beginalign
sum_iinmathcalN(H^i)^T H^i >0,
endalign
then
beginalign
sum_iinmathcalN(H^i)^T H^i geq min_iinmathcalNunderlineh^i^2 I_n
endalign




Note: The expression matrix $M>0$ means matrix $M$ is positive definite. Similarly, the expression $Ageq B$ means $A-B$ is positive semi-definite.

  • What does it mean for one matrix to be less than or equal to another matrix? Is $h$ a real number? Also, in the last line, what is the minimum being taken over?
