Invertible linear preservers of semipositive matrices - a dimension free approach
Vatsalkumar N. Mer
An m-by-n real matrix A is said to be semipositive if there exists a vector x>0 such that Ax>0, where the inequalities are understood componentwise. Dorsey et al. conjectured that…

On the Wasserstein barycenter of positive definite operators
Sejong Kim, Vatsalkumar N. Mer, Miklós Pálfia
We extend the Bures-Wasserstein mean of positive definite matrices to the case of positive definite operators on a Hilbert space. This is done through its defining stationary point…

A multivariable mean equation arising from the spectral geometric mean
Sejong Kim, Vatsalkumar N. Mer
In the 1980s, Kubo and Ando introduced operator means on , the open convex cone of positive definite operators. One significant example is the weighted geometric mean $…
