title: A note on generalizations of strict diagonal dominance for real matrices
abstract: We investigate classes of real square matrices possessing some weakened from of strict diagonal dominance of a real matrix whose diagonal entries are all positive. The intersection of each one of these classes with the set of all real matrices, with nonpositive off-diagonal elements, coincides with the set of all nonsingular M - matrices.

title: On the square roots of strictly quasiaccretive complex matrices
abstract: The square roots of a complex n × n matrix A for which the real part of e ix A , where χϵ[ −π 2 , π 2 ] , is positive definite are investigated. It is shown, for example, that when χ= −π 2 (i.e., A is strictly dissipative), A has a unique square root whose real and imaginary parts are both positive definite.

title: CONVERGENCE OF INFINITE PRODUCTS OF MATRICES AND INNER{OUTER ITERATION SCHEMES
abstract: We develop conditions under which a product Q1=0 Ti of matrices chosen from a possibly innite set of matricesS =fTjjj2 Jg converges. We obtain the following conditions which are sucient for the convergence of the product: There exists a vector norm such that all matrices in S are nonexpansive with respect to this norm and there exists a subsequencefikg 1=0 of the sequence of the nonnegative integers such that the corresponding sequence of operators Tik 1=0 converges to an operator which is paracontracting with respect to this norm. We deduce the continuity of the limit of the product of matrices as a function of the sequencesfikg1=0 . But more importantly, we apply our results to the question of the convergence of inner{outer iteration schemes for solving singular consistent linear systems of equations, where the outer splitting is regular and the inner splitting is weak regular.

title: Nonnegative jordan bases
abstract: In this paper we are concerned with the problem of when the generalized eigenspace of an n × n nonegative matrix A corresponding to its spectrai radius ρ has a nonnegative Jordan basis. Richman and Schneider have shown this to hold when, and only when, the Weyr characteristics of A corresponding to ρ is equal to the vector of levels in the singular graph of A Here we develop sufficient conditions for this equality to hold based upon the linear independence of a certain set of vectors which are generated according to a process of elimination of totally independent chains from the singular graph. We show that this condition comes close to being a further characterization for the existence of a nonnegative Jordan basis for this eigenspace and actually conjecture that this is the case. Finally, we show that this eigenspace has a Rothblum basis which is a Jordan basis if and only if the singular graph is a disjoint union of chains.

title: A combined direct-iterative approach for solving large scale singular and rectangular consistent systems of linear equations
abstract: We construct a certain iterative scheme for solving large scale consistent systems of linear equations Ax = b , (*) where A is a complex m X n matrix of rank r , m ⩾ n , and where A is assumed reasonably well conditioned. The iterative method is obtained through a careful exploitation of an LU -decomposition of A , and, disregarding roundoff errors, it converges to a solution to ( * ), though not necessarily the minimal l 2 -norm one, from any starting vector in r iterations. Moreover, once the LU -decomposition of A is complete, only about r 3 /2 arithmetic operations (multiplications and divisions) are needed to execute the r iterations.

title: Continuity of sublinear operators on F-spaces
abstract: In this note, some of the fundamental theorems concerning the automatic continuity of positive linear functionals and positive linear operators (see [9,14,21]) as well as certain uniform boundedness type theorems (see [5,13,15,19]) will be extended to derive various continuity properties of (even discontinuous) sublinear operators from some metrizable topological vector space to some ordered topological vector space.
