On Schur complement of block diagonally dominant matrices (Q2369053)

Let \(A\) be an \({n}\times{n}\) complex matrix partitioned as \[ {A} =\begin{pmatrix} {A}_{11} & A_{12}\\ A_{21} & A_{22} \end{pmatrix}, \] where \(A_{11}\) is \({l}\times{l}\) and invertible, \({1}\leq{l}<{1}\). The Schur complement of \( A_{11}\) in \(A\) is defined to be \({A}/A_{11}\) = \(A_{22}-{A_{21}}{A_{11}}^{-1}{A_{12}}\). For an \({n}\times{n}\) complex matrix \(A=(a_{i j})\), we say that \(A\) is (strictly) diagonally dominant if for all \(i=1, 2,\dots , n\), \[ \left| a_{i i}\right| (>)\geq\sum_{i=1,i\neq{j}}^{i=n}\left| a_{i j}\right| . \] It is known that the Schur complements of strictly diagonally dominant matrices are strictly diagonally dominant. This result has been extended to generalized strictly diagonally dominant matrices. In this paper, the authors define I- and II-generalized block diagonally dominant matrices and Schur complements for them. Then they prove the above result in these new settings. Proofs are primarily based on the work of the references cited in the paper.
