A characterization of nonnegativity relative to proper cones

Abstract: Let

A

be an

m i m e s n

matrix with real entries. Given two proper cones

K_{1}

and

K_{2}

in

m a t h b b R^{n}

and

m a t h b b R^{m}

, respectively, we say that

A

is nonnegative if

A (K_{1}) s u b s e t e q K_{2}

.

A

is said to be semipositive if there exists a

x i n K_{1}^{c} i r c

such that

A x i n K_{2}^{c} i r c

. We prove that

A

is nonnegative if and only if

A + B

is semipositive for every semipositive matrix

B

. Applications of the above result are also brought out.
