In this paper, sufficient conditions for the existence and construction of nonnegative matrices with prescribed elementary divisors for a list of complex numbers with nonnegative real part are obtained, and the corresponding nonnegative matrices are constructed. In addition, results of how to perturb complex eigenvalues of a nonnegative matrix while keeping its elementary divisors and its nonnegativity are derived.
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.
