Given an invertible matrix $A$ and column vectors $b$ and $c$.
For which $A$,$b$ and $c$ are all corresponding principal minors of $B = A-bc^T$ and $A^{-1}$ equal?
According to a result by Loewy, this is true if $B$ and $A^{-1}$ are diagonally similar with transpose (plus some extra conditions). This work by Engel and Schneider seems more promising, but still I'm stuck.
My main interests are:
- For which matrices $A$ is the problem solvable?
- Given a matrix $A$, how attain $b$ and $c$ numerically (best possible if no exact solution exist)?
