Special H-matrices and their Schur and diagonal-Schur complements

摘要

It is well known, see [D. Carlson, T. Markham, Schur complements of diagonally dominant matrices, Czech. Math. J. 29 (104) (1979) 246–251 [2]; J. Liu, J. Li, Z. Huang, X. Kong, Some properties of Schur complements and diagonal-Schur complements of diagonally dominant matrices, Linear Alg. Appl. 428 (2008) 1009–1030] [14], that the Schur complement of a strictly diagonally dominant matrix is strictly diagonally dominant, as well as its diagonal-Schur complement. Also, if a matrix is an H-matrix, then its Schur complement and diagonal-Schur complement are H-matrices, too, see [J. Liu, Y. Huang, Some properties on Schur complements of H-matrices and diagonally dominant matrices, Linear Alg. Appl. 389 (2004) 365–380] [13]. Recent research, see [J. Liu, Y. Huang, F. Zhang, The Schur complements of generalized doubly diagonally dominant matrices, Linear Alg. Appl. 378 (2004) 231–244 [12]; J. Liu, J. Li, Z. Huang, X. Kong, Some properties of Schur complements and diagonal-Schur complements of diagonally dominant matrices, Linear Alg. Appl. 428 (2008) 1009–1030] [14], showed that the similar statements hold for some special subclasses of H-matrices. The aim of this paper is to give more invariance results of this type, and simplified proofs for some already known results, by using scaling approach.
