Abstract

Given a sequence of real or complex numbers, we construct a sequence of nested, symmetric matrices. We determine the L U - and Q R -factorizations, the determinant and the principal minors for such a matrix. When the sequence is real, positive and strictly increasing, the matrices are strictly positive, inverse M -matrices with symmetric, irreducible, tridiagonal inverses.
