Tridiagonal M-matrices whose group inverses are tridiagonal

Recently, a characterization was obtained for a nonsingular M-matrix, to have a tridiagonal inverse. In a related work, the explicit sign pattern for this kind of matrices was also discovered. In this paper, we extend these results to singular M-matrices that are group invertible. Further, we obtain...

Sumario:Recently, a characterization was obtained for a nonsingular M-matrix, to have a tridiagonal inverse. In a related work, the explicit sign pattern for this kind of matrices was also discovered. In this paper, we extend these results to singular M-matrices that are group invertible. Further, we obtain the precise sign pattern for such matrices. Our techniques and reasoning work for both singular and nonsingular matrices, thereby providing a unified framework to treat such classes of matrices.
