Ben Webster 2009-11-13T02:14:27Z 2009-11-13T02:14:27Z <p>"matrices with Gauss decomposition" is the shortest thing that comes to mind. I mean other than $B_-TB_+$.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/5198/is-there-a-specific-name-for-matrices-with-nonsingular-principal-submatrices/5988#5988 Answer by Federico Poloni for Is there a specific name for matrices with nonsingular principal submatrices? Federico Poloni 2009-11-18T18:31:30Z 2009-11-18T18:31:30Z <p>I've heard them called "strongly nonsingular matrices" in numerical linear algebra. Google that and you'll find some literature.</p>
