Let A be a nonsingular M-matrix, and τ (A) denote its minimum eigenvalue. Shivakumar et al. [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 17(2):298-312, 1996] presented some bounds of τ (A) when A is a weakly chained diagonally dominant M-matrix. The present paper establishes some new bounds of τ (A) for a general nonsingular M-matrix A. Numerical examples show that the results obtained are an improvement over some known results in certain cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
