1 Introduction
There has been renewed interest in the Convolution Product of matrix functions that is very useful in some applications; see for example 1 6 The importance of this product stems from the fact that it arises naturally in divers areas of mathematics In fact, the convolution product plays very important role in system theory, control theory, stability theory, and, other fields of pure and applied mathematics Further the technique has been successfully applied in various fields of matrix algebra such as, in matrix equations, matrix differential equations, matrix inequalities, and many other subjects; for details see1,7,8 For example,
in 2, Nikolaos established some inequalities involving convolution product of matrices and presented a new method to obtain closed form solutions of transition probabilities and dependability measures and then solved the renewal matrix equation by using the convolution product of matrices In 6, Sumita established the matrix Laguerre transform
to calculate matrix convolutions and evaluated a matrix renewal function, similarly, in9, Boshnakov showed that the entries of the autocovariances matrix function can be expressed
in terms of the Kronecker convolution product Recently in 1, Kilic¸man and Al Zhour
Trang 2presented the iterative solution of such coupled matrix equations based on the Kronecker convolution structures
In this paper, we consider Kronecker and Hadamard convolution products for
matrices and define the so-called Dirac identity matrix D n t which behaves like a group
identity element under the convolution matrix operation Further, we present some results which includes matrix equalities as well as inequalities related to these products and give attractive application to the inequalities that involves Hadamard convolution product Some special cases of this application are also considered First of all, we need the following
notations The notation M I
m,n is the set of all m × n absolutely integrable matrices for all
t ≥ 0, and if m n, we write M I
n instead of M I
m,n The notation A T t is the transpose of matrix function At The notations δt and D n t δtI nare the Dirac delta function and
Dirac identity matrix, respectively; here, the notation I nis the scalar identity matrix of order
n ×n The notations At∗Bt, AtBt, and At•Bt are convolution product, Kronecker convolution product and Hadamard convolution product of matrix functions At and Bt,
respectively
2 Matrix Convolution Products and Some Properties
In this section, we introduce Kronecker and Hadamard convolution products of matrices, obtain some new results, and establish connections between these products that will be useful
in some applications
Definition 2.1 Let At f ij t ∈ M I
m,n , Bt g jr t ∈ M I
n,p , and Ct z ij t ∈ M I
The convolution, Kronecker convolution and Hadamard convolution products are matrix
functions defined for t≥ 0 as follows whenever the integral is defined

iii Hadamard convolution product
At•Ct f ij t ∗ z ij tij 2.3
where f ij t ∗ Bt is the ijth submatrix of order n × p; thus At Bt is of order mn × np, At ∗ Bt is of order m × p, and similarly, the product At•Ct is of order m × n.
The following two theorems are easily proved by using the definition of the convolution product and Kronecker product of matrices, respectively
Trang 3Theorem 2.2 Let At, Bt, Ct ∈ M I

Trang 4The above results can easily be extended to the finite number of matrices as in the following corollary

Similarly we can proveii
Theorem 2.5 Let At f ij t, and let Bt g ij t ∈ M I
m,n Then

Here, P n t Vec E n11t, , Vec E n nn t ∈ M n2,n and E ij t e i t ∗ e T
j t of order n × n, e i t
is the ith column of Dirac identity matrix D n t δtI n ∈ M n with property P T t ∗ P n t D n t.
In particular, if m n, then we have
A •Bt P T

This completes the proof ofTheorem 2.5
Corollary 2.6 Let A i t ∈ M I
m,n 1 ≤ i ≤ k, k ≥ 2 Then there exist two matrices P km t of order
m k × m and P kn t of order n k × n such that

where
P km T t E m11 t, 0 m , , 0 m , E22m t, 0 m , , 0 m , E m mm t 2.21
is of order m ×m k , 0 m is an m ×m matrix with all entries equal to zero, E m ij t is an m×m matrix of zeros except for a δt in the ijth position, and there are k−2
s1m s zero matrices 0 m between E ii m t and E m i 1,i1 t (1 ≤ i ≤ m − 1) In particular, if m n, then we have

suppose that corollary holds for the Hadamard convolution product of k matrices Then we
have

Trang 6which is based on the fact that
P T

k1m t, D n t P kn t ∗ P n t P k1n t, 2.24 and thus the inductive step is completed
Corollary 2.7 Let At, Bt ∈ M I
m and P m t be a matrix of zeros and D m t that satisfies the
2.17 Then P T
m t ∗ P m t D m t and P m ∗ P T
m is a diagonal m2× m2matrix of zeros, and then the following inequality satisfied
0≤ P m t ∗ P T
m t ≤ D m2. 2.25
Proof It follows immediately by the definition of matrix P m t.
Theorem 2.8 Let At and Bt ∈ M I
m,n Then for any m2× n2matrix Lt,
P m T t ∗ Lt ∗ L T t ∗ P m t ≥P m T t ∗ Lt ∗ P n t∗P m T t ∗ Lt ∗ P n tT ≥ 0. 2.26
Proof ByCorollary 2.7, it is clear that D n2t ≥ P n t ∗ P T t ≥ 0 and so
P m T t ∗ Lt ∗ D n2t ∗ L T t ∗ P m t P T
m t ∗ Lt ∗ L T t ∗ P m t
≥ P T
m t ∗ Lt ∗ P n t ∗ P T
n t ∗ L T t ∗ P m t
P m T t ∗ Lt ∗ P n t∗P m T t ∗ Lt ∗ P n tT ≥ 0.
2.27 This completes the proof ofTheorem 2.8
We note that Hadamard convolution product differs from the convolution product of matrices in many ways One important difference is the commutativity of Hadamard convolution multiplication
A •Bt B•At. 2.28
Similarly, the diagonal matrix function can be formed by using Hadamard convolution
multiplication with Dirac identity matrix For example, if At, Bt ∈ M I
n , and D n t Dirac
identity then we have
i A•Bt A ∗ Bt if and only if At and Bt are both diagonal matrices;
ii A•Bt•D n t A•D n t ∗ B•D n t.
Trang 73 Some New Applications
Now based on inequality2.26 in the previous section we can easily make some different inequalities on using the commutativity of Hadamard convolution product Thus we have the following theorem
Theorem 3.1 For matrices At and Bt ∈ M I
m,n and for s ∈ −1, 1, we have At ∗
A T t•Bt ∗ B T t sAt ∗ B T t•Bt ∗ A T t
≥ 1 sAt•Bt ∗ At•Bt T
In particular, if s 0, then we have
At ∗ A T t•Bt ∗ B T t≥ At•Bt ∗ At•Bt T 3.2
Proof Choose Lt αAt Bt βBt At, where At, and Bt ∈ M I
m,n and α, β are real
scalars not both zero Since
Lt ∗ L T t
αAt Bt βBt At∗αAt Bt βBt AtT
, 3.3
on usingTheorem 2.5we can easily obtain that
P m T t ∗ Lt ∗ L T t ∗ P m t α2
At ∗ A T t•Bt ∗ B T t
αβ
At ∗ B T t•Bt ∗ A T t
αβ
Bt ∗ A T t•At ∗ B T t
β2
Bt ∗ B T t•At ∗ A T t
α2 β2
At ∗ A T t•Bt ∗ B T t
2αβ At ∗ B T t•Bt ∗ A T t .
3.4
Now one can also easily show that
P m T t ∗ Lt ∗ P n t∗P m T t ∗ Lt ∗ P n tTα β2At•Bt ∗ At•Bt T 3.5
By setting s 2αβ/α2β2, then it follows that s1 α β2/α2β2; further the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality ensures that|s| ≤ 1 and the choices β 1 and α ∈ −1, 1 thus s
takes all values in−1, 1 Now by using 3.4, 3.5 and inequality 2.26 we can establish
Theorem 3.1
Trang 8Further,Theorem 3.1can be extended to the case of Hadamard convolution products which involves finite number of matrices as follows

Proof Let
Lt α1A1t A2t · · · A k t α2A2t · · · A k t A1t
· · · α k A k t A1t · · · A k−1t. 3.7
By taking indices “modk” and using2.20 ofCorollary 2.6follows that

3.11
Now by applying inequality2.26, and 3.6 and 3.7 thus we establishTheorem 3.2
We note that many special cases can be derived fromTheorem 3.2 For example, in order to see that inequality3.6 is an extension of inequality 3.2 we set α1 1 and α2 · · · α k 0 Next, we recover inequality3.1 ofTheorem 3.1, by letting k 2, then μ1 2
w1α w α w1
with w 1 ≡ w 1mod 2, that is, μ1 2α1α2then we have

on usingTheorem 3.2we have an attractive inequality as follows
