Synopsis

Several definiteness conditions in the multiparameter spectral literature are discussed. It is shown that some of these conditions permit simplifying transformations of the eigenvalues, leading to further definiteness properties. Geometrical equivalents for the algebraic conditions are established in terms of separation of convex cones. As a result, the relationship between the standard left and right definiteness conditions is clarified.
