Let ℂn,n denote the space of n × n matrices with complex entries and let ℋn denote the set of n × n hermitian matrices. Given any matrix A∊ℂn,n, the Lyapunov transformation corresponding to A is defined by ℐA(H) = AH+HA*, where H∊ℋn. Let PSD(n) be the set of all n × n hermitian positive semidefinite matrices. Taussky [8, 9] raised the problems of determining

and

Both of these problems seem to be difficult.
