How strong is strong regularity? (Q2568637): Difference between revisions

Let \(\overline A= [A_c- \Delta,A_c +\Delta]\) be a \(n\times n\) interval matrix. It is called regular if any \(A\in\overline A\) is nonsingular. \(\overline A\) is called strongly regular if \(\varrho(|A^{-1}_c|\Delta< 1\) when \(\varrho\) is the spectral radius. These two properties are compared. For this purpose a finite class of open convex cones is defined that depend on \(\overline A\) and lie in the positive orthant. It turns out that \(\overline A\) is regular iff these cones are nonempty, and that \(\overline A\) is strongly regular iff their intersection is nonempty.
