Review text

An \(m\times n\) matrix is called totally positive if all of its minors are positive. The authors prove that an arbitrary \(m\times n\) positive matrix can be written as a sum of at most \(\min\{m, n\}\) totally positive matrices. This generalizes the fact that a positive matrix is the sum of two matrices whose all principal minors are positive.
