For n in N, the invertible real n x n matrices form a subset of the square matrices, and the positive semidefinite symmetric n x n matrices form a subset of S(n), each with the evident membership. Both conditions are expressed by predicative formulas, so set-builder applies.
In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let , with the square real matrices , the set of symmetric real matrices, invertible matrices as in Inverse Matrix and Invertible Real Square Matrix §invertible, and positive semidefinite matrices as in Positive Semidefinite and Positive Definite Real Matrices §psd.
There is exactly one set such that, for every set , if and only if and is invertible. It is a subset of , written .
There is exactly one set such that, for every set , if and only if and is positive semidefinite. It is a subset of , written .
