Abstract
A criterion for the positive definiteness of symmetric 3 × 3 block-matrix A is presented.Applying the criterion,we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for that the matrix equation(AT XA,B TXB) =(C,D) has positive definite solution.The expression of the general solution is given.
