Abstract:Drew, Johnson and Loewy conjectured that for $n \geq 4$, the CP-rank of every
$n \times n$ completely positive real matrix is at most $\left[n^{2}/4\right]$.
While this conjecture is false for completely positive real matrices, we show
that this conjecture is true for $n \times n$ completely positive matrices over
certain special types of inclines. In addition, we prove an incline version of
Markham's theorems which gives sufficient conditions for completely positive
matrices over special inclines to have tria… Show more
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.
