We investigate the inertia of decomposable entanglement witnesses (EWs). We show that the 2 × n and two-qutrit decomposable EWs have the same inertias as those of non-positive-transpose (NPT) EWs. We also show that if an m×n EW W has inertia (p, ap, mn- p - ap) with p ‒ 1, then for every integer b ∈ [0, ap], then we can find an EW Wb such that In Wb = (p, b, mn - p - b). If W is a decomposable (resp. NPT) EW, then we can choose Wb as also a decomposable (resp. NPT) EW. We further show that the m × n decomposable EW with the maximum number of negative eigenvalues can be chosen as an NPT EW. Then we explicitly characterize the 2 × 3 EWs, and decomposable EWs P ? +Q with positive semidefinite matrices P of rank one and Q. We also show that a 2 × 4 non-decomposable EW has no inertia (3, 2, 3). Then we show some properties of a 2 × 4 non-decomposable EW of inertia (2, 3, 3), if it exists.
