Nonnegativity of principal minors of generalized inverses of \(P_ 0\)- matrices (Q2266049)

A square matrix is called a \(P_ 0\)-matrix if all its principal minors are nonnegative. The authors derive a necessary and sufficient condition under which a reflexive generalized inverse (or \(\{\) 1,2\(\}\)-inverse) of a singular \(P_ 0\)-matrix is again a \(P_ 0\)-matrix.
