Let A and B be M-matrices satisfying A ≤ B and J = [A,B] be the set of all matrices C such that A ≤ C ≤ B, where the order is component wise. It is rather well known that if A is an M-matrix and B is an invertible M-matrix and A ≤ B, then aA + bB is an invertible M-matrix for all a,b > 0. In this article, we present an elementary proof of a stronger version of this result and study corresponding results for certain other classes as well.
A matrix A ∈ ℝn×n is a GM-matrix if A = sI − B, where 0 < ρ(B) ≤ s and B ∈WPFn i.e., both B and Bt have ρ(B) as their eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvector is entry wise nonnegative. In this article, we consider a generalization of a subclass of GM-matrices having a nonnegative core nilpotent decomposition and prove a characterization result for such matrices. Also, we study various notions of splitting of matrices from this new class and obtain sufficient conditions for their convergence....
