A square complex matrix A is eventually nonnegative if there exists a positive integer k0 such that for all k ≥ k0, A ≥ 0; A is strongly eventually nonnegative if it is eventually nonnegative and has an irreducible nonnegative power. It is proved that a collection of elementary Jordan blocks is a Frobenius Jordan multiset with cyclic index r if and only if it is the multiset of elementary Jorda...

Nonnegative matrix factorization has been offered as a fast and effective method for analyzing nonnegative two-mode proximity data. The goal is to structurally represent a nonnegative proximity matrix as the product of two lower-dimensional nonnegative matrices. Goodness of fit is typically measured as the sum of the squared deviations between the observed matrix elements and the estimated elem...

The transition matrix, which characterizes a discrete time homogeneous Markov chain, is a stochastic matrix. A stochastic matrix is a special nonnegative matrix with each row summing up to 1. In this paper, we focus on the computation of the stationary distribution of a transition matrix from the viewpoint of the Perron vector of a nonnegative matrix, based on which an algorithm for the station...

We present a dedicated algorithm for the nonnegative factorization of a correlation matrix from an application in financial engineering. We look for a low-rank approximation. The origin of the problem is discussed in some detail. Next to the description of the algorithm, we prove, by means of a counter example, that an exact nonnegative decomposition of a general positive semidefinite matrix is...
