Geometric mean of positive definite matrices edit

The geometric mean can be extended to positive-definite matrices, and even to accretive matrices, i.e., matrices with a strictly positive Hermitian part.

 
 
 

It is the midpoint on the geodesic connecting   and   on the smooth manifold of positive definite matrices.
