On nonnegative sign equivalent and sign similar factorizations of matrices

Immanants of Totally Positive Matrices Are Nonnegative

If/ is an irreducible character of Sn, these functions are known as immanants; if/ is an irreducible character of some subgroup G of Sn (extended trivially to all of Sn by defining /(vv) = 0 for w$G), these are known as generalized matrix functions. Note that the determinant and permanent are obtained by choosing / to be the sign character and trivial character of Sn, respectively. We should po...

Separating doubly nonnegative and completely positive matrices

The cone of Completely Positive (CP) matrices can be used to exactly formulate a variety of NP-Hard optimization problems. A tractable relaxation for CP matrices is provided by the cone of Doubly Nonnegative (DNN) matrices; that is, matrices that are both positive semidefinite and componentwise nonnegative. A natural problem in the optimization setting is then to separate a given DNN but non-CP...

On the nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem of traditional matrices

In this paper, at first for a given set of real or complex numbers $sigma$ with nonnegative summation, we introduce some special conditions that with them there is no nonnegative tridiagonal matrix in which $sigma$ is its spectrum. In continue we present some conditions for existence such nonnegative tridiagonal matrices.

Nonnegative Matrices

For a loopless, acyclic, transitive directed graph S, we study the relations between the predecessor property and the well structured property on S. These properties assure the existence of nonnegativ€ Jordan bases for any nonnegative matrix with singular graph S.
