Characterizations of rectangular totally and strictly totally positive matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
An n×m real matrix A is said to be totally positive (strictly totally positive) if every minor is nonnegative (positive). In this paper, we study characterizations of these classes of matrices by minors, by their full rank factorization and by their thin

The Ordering of Shannon Entropies for the Multivariate Distributions and Distributions of Eigenvalues

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
In this paper, we prove the Shannon entropy inequalities for the multivariate distributions via the notion of convex ordering of two multivariate distributions.

Inner totally positive matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Suppose A∈Mn is a staircase matrix with row and column staircase sequences ρ={ρ(1),ρ(2),…,ρ(n)}, γ={γ(1),γ(2),…,γ(n)}. A minor A(α;β)=det(A[α|β]) with α={α1…,αk},β={β1,…,βk} is said to be an inner minor of A if αi⩽γ(βi),βi⩽ρ(αi) for i=1,2,…,k.

Arrangements of equal minors in the positive Grassmannian [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2014
We discuss arrangements of equal minors in totally positive matrices. More precisely, we would like to investigate the structure of possible equalities and inequalities between the minors.

MATRICES TOTALLY POSITIVE RELATIVE TO A TREE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
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.

The LU-factorization of totally positive matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
An n × n real matrix A is an STP (strictly totally positive) matrix if all its minors are strictly positive. An n × n real triangular matrix A is a ΔSTP matrix if all its nontrivial minors are strictly positive. It is proved that A is an STP matrix iff A

On Factorizations of Totally Positive Matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
. Different approaches to the decomposition of a nonsingular totally positive matrix as a product of bidiagonal matrices are studied. Special attention is paid to the interpretation of the factorization in terms of the Neville elimination process of the ...
