Mar 19, 2012 at 5:47 comment added Aaron Tikuisis Maybe I'm a little slow, but I still don't see it. David seems to have simply computed the inverse and shown that the entries are nonnegative - which does answer the question, but doesn't seem to shed light on where $M$-matrices come into play.

Mar 18, 2012 at 10:52 comment added Aaron Tikuisis It seems that these papers deal with $M$-matrices, which, it seems, means matrices $A$ such that: (i) $A$ is invertible and every entry of $A^{-1}$ is nonnegative; and (ii) The off-diagonal entries of $A$ are nonpositive. By contrast, the question seems to refer to matrices which satisfy (i) but for which the off-diagonal entries are positive (plus other conditions). Is there a clear way to relate the question to $M$-matrices?
