摘要
In qualitative and combinatorial matrix theory,we study properties of a matrix basedon qualitative information,such as the signs of entries in the matrix.A matrix whose en-tries are from the set{+,-,0}is called a sign pattern matrix (or sign pattern).For a re-al matrix B,by sgn (B) we mean the sign pattern matrix in which each positive (respec-tively,negative,zero) entry of B is replaced by+(respectively,-,0).If A is an
