Abstract. We extend three inequalities involving
the Hadamard product
in three ways. First, the results are extended to any partitioned blocks
Hermitian matrices. Second, the Hadamard product is replaced by
the Khatri-Rao product. Third, the necessary and sufficient conditions
under which equalities
occur are presented. Thereby, we generalize two inequalities
involving the
Khatri--Rao product.
