A nonsingular matrix \(A\) having all non-positive off-diagonal entries is called an \(M\)-matrix if \(A^{-1}\geq 0\). For any matrix \(A= [a_{ij}]\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times n}\), its comparison matrix \(\langle A\rangle= [m_{ij}]\) is defined by \(m_{ij}= |a_{ii}|\) for \(i= j\), and \(m_{ij}=-|a_{ij}|\) for \(i\neq j\). A matrix \(A\) is said to be a nonsingular \(H\)-matrix if \(\langle A\rangle\) is a nonsingular \(M\)-matrix. Nonsingular \(H\)-matrices appear in many practical applications. Many different subclasses of these matrices were introduced in the literatur in order to give various possibilities to check \(H\)-matrix property in practice. This paper deals with some properties of \(\alpha\)1-matrices and \(\alpha\)2-matrices which are subclasses of nonsingular \(H\)-matrices. The authors give new characterizations of \(\alpha\)1- and \(\alpha\)2-matrices and study some algebraic properties of \(\alpha\)1 and \(\alpha\)2 matrices using these characterizations. More precisely, the paper studies the sum, in particular, the subdirect sum of two matrices from the same class, and Hadamard product of two matrices from the same class.
