โฆ Synopsis
We conjecture that for an n x n matrix A which is an inverse of an M-matrix, the Hadamard product A o A is also an inverse of an M-matrix. We have checked this conjecture without failure on many many examples. But here we show that for quite a few well known classes of inverses of M-matrices, the conjecture is true. It is known that the more general conjecture, that when A and B are n x n inverses of M-matrices, then A o B is also an inverse of an M-matrix, is false. However, here too we are able to display some classes of inverses of M-matrices which are closed under taking Hadamard products.

We investigate the Hadamard product of inverse M-matrices and present two classes of inverse M-matrices that are closed under the Hadamard multiplication. In the end, we give some inequalities on the Fan product of M-matrices and Schur complements.
