Sufficient conditions for invertibility of a block tridiagonal matrix
Let $M_n \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times N}$ be a block-tridiagonal matrix:
$$M_n = \begin{bmatrix} B_1 & C_1 & 0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ A_1 & B_2 & C_2 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \...

Determining whether a Schur complement is invertible
Consider the symmetric matrix
$$M = \begin{bmatrix}
A & B \\
B^T & -C
\end{bmatrix}$$
where $A \in \cal{R}^{n \times n}$ and $C \in \cal{R}^{m\times m}$ are symmetric, ...
