In this paper we identify the sign pattern matrices that occur among the N-matrices, the P-matrices and the M-matrices. We also address to the class of inverse M-matrices and the related admissibility of sign pattern matrices problem.

A sign pattern is said to be potentially nilpotent if it allows nilpotence. In this paper, a number of qualitative necessary or sufficient conditions for a sign pattern to allow nilpotence are established. The sign patterns that allow nilpotence of index 2 are investigated. For orders up to 3, poten
The sign pattern matrix A is called sign k-potent if k is the smallest positive integer such that e k1 eX The structure of irreducible, sign k-potent pattern matrices was characterized by Stuart et al. (J. Stuart, C. Eschenbach, S. Kirkland, Linear Algebra Appl. 294 (1999) 85±92). We extend those re
The sign pattern matrix A is called sign k-potent if k is the smallest positive integer for which e k1 eX We characterize the irreducible pattern matrices that are sign k-potent and provide a canonical form for such matrices.
