Matrices Totally Positive Relative to a Tree
Johnson, Charles R.; Costas-Santos, R. S. and Tadchiev, B. Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra 18 (2009), 211 — 221Abstract
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. Here, a certain weakening of the TP hypothesis is shown to yield a similar conclusion.
