Abstract:

Tridiagonal sign pattern matrices and paw form sign pattern matrices were analyzed with respect to their potential for ensuring algebraic positivity. The necessary conditions allowing algebraic positivity of the two classes of sign pattern matrices were given using combinatorial matrix theory and graph theory. Finally, the equivalent conditions that would ensure algebraic positivity of tridiagonal sign pattern matrices and paw form sign pattern matrices of order $n $ were determined.

Key words: sign pattern matrix, allow algebraic positivity, tridiagonal sign pattern matrix, paw form sign pattern matrix
