Ela Matrices Totally Positive Relative to a Tree∗
نویسنده
چکیده
It is known that for a totally positive (TP) matrix, the eigenvalues are positive and distinct and the eigenvector associated with the smallest eigenvalue is totally nonzero and has an alternating sign pattern. Here, a certain weakening of the TP hypothesis is shown to yield a similar conclusion.

متن کاملEla Bidiagonal Decompositions, Minors and Applications
Abstract. Matrices, called ε-BD matrices, that have a bidiagonal decomposition satisfying some sign constraints are analyzed. The ε-BD matrices include all nonsingular totally positive matrices, as well as their matrices opposite in sign and their inverses. The signs of minors of ε-BD matrices are analyzed. The zero patterns of ε-BD matrices and their triangular factors are studied and applied ...
متن کاملEla Accurate Computations with Totally Positive Bernstein–vandermonde Matrices
The accurate solution of some of the main problems in numerical linear algebra (linear system solving, eigenvalue computation, singular value computation and the least squares problem) for a totally positive Bernstein–Vandermonde matrix is considered. Bernstein–Vandermonde matrices are a generalization of Vandermonde matrices arising when considering for the space of the algebraic polynomials o...
متن کاملEla on Nonnegative Sign Equivalent and Sign Similar Factorizations of Matrices∗
Dedicated to Hans Schneider on the occasion of his eightieth birthday Abstract. It is shown that every real n×n matrix is a product of at most two nonnegative sign equivalent matrices, and every real n × n matrix, n ≥ 2, is a product of at most three nonnegative sign similar matrices. Finally, it is proved that every real n×n matrix is a product of totally positive sign equivalent matrices. How...
متن کاملEla on a Schur Complement Inequality for the Hadamard Product of Certain Totally Nonnegative Matrices
Under the entrywise dominance partial ordering, T.L. Markham and R.L. Smith obtained a Schur complement inequality for the Hadamard product of two tridiagonal totally nonnegative matrices. Applying the properties of the Hadamard core of totally nonnegative matrices, the Schur complement inequalities for the Hadamard product of totally nonnegative matrices is obtained, which extends those of T.L...
