Abstract: The ensemble of antagonistic matrices is introduced and studied. In antagonistic matrices the entries $mathcal{A}_{i,j}$ and $mathcal{A}_{j,i}$ are real and have opposite signs, or are both zero, and the diagonal is zero. This generalization of antisymmetric matrices is suggested by the linearized dynamics of competitive species in ecology.

Review text

The authors introduce and study the ensemble of antagonistic matrices. In antagonistic matrices the entries \(a_{ij}\) and \(a_{ji}\) are real and have opposite signs, or are both zero, and the diagonal is zero. This generalization of antisymmetric matrices is suggested by the linearized dynamics of competitive species in ecology.
