Jan 20, 2012 at 21:56 comment added user20638 To Alexander Chervov (or anyone else who knows), You say that "If elements are quite small, then sing.vals. will be small, it can be made precise". How can it "be made precise" ? I would be interested to know more (I am not myself mathematician). In my case, the elements of A are all smaller that between -1 and 1. Don't know if it helps... Thank you.
Jan 17, 2012 at 20:38 comment added user20638 Sorry for being imprecise. I am interested in the largest singular value only. An M-Matrix has mainly two properties : 1- all non diagonal entries are negative 2- all principal minors are positive A sufficient condition to check that a matrix is an M-Matrix is that it can be written (\lambda I - B) for some nonnegative matrix B and some \lambda > p, where p is a maximal eigenvalue of B. A property of an M-Matrix is that all the eigenvalues are positive. I don't know if these properties can help. But yes, I am trying to find conditions to ensure that the largest s.v. is < 1. Thanks,

Jan 16, 2012 at 18:30 comment added Federico Poloni Do you mean all the singular values, I assume?
