It would be interesting to see how the positive definite is known. 
Page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive-definite_matrix gives an 
example for which v.T*M*v gives 2*a**2 - 2*a*b + 2*b**2 - 2*b*c + 2*c**2 
which is factored into a sum of squares (and hence nonnegative). I don't 
know if we have a way of factoring such expressions into squares, however.
