Apr 24, 2012 at 14:54 comment added Suvrit @Federico: thanks for the clarification---so actually for the additive not multiplicative inverse ;-)
Apr 24, 2012 at 13:27 comment added Brendan McKay Goldbergian matrices.
Apr 24, 2012 at 8:24 comment added Felix Goldberg It's supposed to be a common generalization of both cases...
Apr 24, 2012 at 7:49 comment added Federico Poloni @Suvrit: for the negative ($-A$), rather than the inverse. I think "least" should be understood as "leftmost in the complex plane", otherwise the property does not hold for all Z-matrices as the OP claims.
Apr 24, 2012 at 4:42 comment added Suvrit so this is in a sense, like a Perron-Frobenius property, but only for the least eigenvalues (so in a way, Perron-Frobenius for the inverse)...
Apr 24, 2012 at 1:03 comment added Gerhard Paseman Since you asked, my uneducated and subjective opinion is that I don't think much of "minpositive". You might consider "firstQ" for eigenvectors in the first quadrant (first orthant actually) and then something like "minfirstQ" for the type of matrix which I find more descriptive. Then again, you might think as much of "minfirstQ" as I do of "minpositive". Gerhard "Matrices By Any Other Name..." Paseman, 2012.04.23
