Schur complements and matrix inequalities in the Löwner ordering

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present a matrix inequality on the Kronecker product that unifies the proofs of many existing matrix inequalities in the Lowner partial ordering on the sum, ordinary product, and Hadamard (Schur) product. Schur complements serve as the basic tool.
