Abstract:

Let A be a nonsingular matrix with positive inverse and B a non-negative matrix. Let the inverse of $A + vB$ be positive for $0 \leq v < {v^ \ast } < + \infty$ and at least one of its entries be equal to zero for $v = {v^ \ast }$; an algorithm to compute ${v^ \ast }$ is described in this paper. Furthermore, it is shown that if $A + {A^{\text {T}}}$ is positive definite, then the inverse of $A + v(B - {B^{\text {T}}})$ is positive for $0 \leq v < {v^ \ast }$.
