On a maximum principle for inverse monotone matrices (Q1805193): Difference between revisions

Based on the maximum principle of an \(n\times n\) matrix \(A\), the weighted maximum principle of an \(n\times n\) matrix \(A\) with respect to a fixed positive vector \(\gamma\) is introduced and discussed. For an invertible matrix \(A\) with positive inverse, the \(\gamma\)-weighted maximum principle is characterized geometrically by means of the behavior under \(A^{- 1}\) of convex boundary parts of the simplex generated in \(R^ n_ +\) by permissible multiples of the unit coordinate vectors. Sufficient conditions for the maximum principle are generalized to the \(\gamma\)- weighted maximum principle. The \(\gamma\)-weighted maximum principle for \(M\)-matrices is presented.
