The quadratic form is the diagonal of the bilinear form: $Q_f(v) = B_f(v, v)$.
Polarization identity: $Q_f(v + cw) = Q_f(v) + c(B_f(v,w) + B_f(w,v)) + c^2 Q_f(w)$.
Kernel orthogonality: if $Q_f(v) = 0$ and the form is PSD, then $B_f(v, w) + B_f(w, v) = 0$ for all $w$. (This is essentially that $v$ is in the radical of the symmetrized form.)
Absolute-value monotonicity: for a matrix with $f_{st} \le 0$ off-diagonal, $Q_f(|v|) \le Q_f(v)$ (i.e. taking absolute values only decreases the quadratic form).
Zero-block lemma: if the row equation $\sum_t (f_{it} + f_{ti}) v_t = 0$ holds with $v \ge 0$, $v_i = 0$, $v_j > 0$, and $f_{st} \le 0$ off-diagonal, then $f_{ij} = f_{ji} = 0$.
Perron–Frobenius positivity: a nonnegative null vector $v \ge 0$, $Q_f(v) = 0$, $v \ne 0$ in the kernel of an indecomposable PSD off-diagonal-nonpositive form $f$ must be strictly positive component-wise.
One-dimensional kernel (positive case): any two strictly positive null vectors $v, w > 0$ of an indecomposable PSD off-diagonal-nonpositive form are scalar multiples: $w = c \cdot v$.
One-dimensional kernel (general case): given a strictly positive null vector $v > 0$, any other null vector $w$ is a scalar multiple of $v$: $w = c \cdot v$.
Perron–Frobenius instance: every off-diagonal-nonpositive real matrix on a nonempty index
type automatically satisfies the PerronFrobeniusProperty.
