Abstract

This paper investigates the existence of positive diagonal solutions for a class of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) involving a triple of real $n \times n$ matrices $(A_1, A_2, A_3)$. We provide equivalent conditions linking the negative definiteness of a structured block matrix to properties of positive semidefinite test matrices and $P$-matrices under Hadamard transformations. Our results extend classical stability theory, offering new characterizations with applications in control theory~\cite{Boyd1994,Gahinet1994} and network dynamics.
