An n Γ n real matrix is said to be totally nonpositive if every minor is nonpositive. In this paper, we are interested in totally nonpositive completion problems, that is, does a partial totally nonpositive matrix have a totally nonpositive matrix completion? This problem has, in general, a negative

We say that a rectangular matrix over a ring with identity is totally nonsingular (TNS) if for all k, all its relevant submatrices, either having k consecutive-rows and the first k columns, or k consecutive-columns and the first k rows, are invertible. We prove that a matrix is TNS if and only if it
A complex matrix A is ray-nonsingular if det(X 0 A) f 0 for every matrix X with positive entries. A sufficient condition for ray nonsingularity is that the origin is not in the relative interior of the convex hull of the signed transversal products of A. The concept of an isolated set of transversa
