✦ Synopsis
An n × m real matrix A is said to be totally positive (strictly totally positive) if every minor is nonnegative (positive). In this paper, we study characterizations of these classes of matrices by minors, by their full rank factorization and by their thin QR factorization.

We prove results concerning the interlacing of eigenvalues of principal submatrices of strictly totally positive (STP) matrices.
## Abstract In spline spaces there are often totally positive bases possessing a strong property called almost strictly total positivity. In this paper, it is proved that, for totally positive bases of continuous functions __B__, the following concepts are equivalent: (i) __B__ is almost strictly t
