Consider the set of scalars α \alpha for which the α \alpha th Hadamard power of any n × n n\times n positive semi-definite (p.s.d.) matrix with non-negative entries is p.s.d. It is known that this set is of the form { 0 , 1 , … , n − 3 } ∪ [ n − 2 , ∞ ) \{0, 1, \dots , n-3\}\cup [n-2, \infty ) . A natural question is “what is the possible form of the set of such α \alpha for a fixed p.s.d. matrix with non-negative entries?”. In all examples appearing in the literature, the set turns out to be union of a finite set and a semi-infinite interval. In this article, examples of matrices are given for which the set consists of a finite set and more than one disjoint interval of positive length. In fact, it is proved that the number of such disjoint intervals can be made arbitrarily large, by giving explicit examples of matrices. The case when the entries of the matrices are not necessarily non-negative is also considered.
