L-matrix
In mathematics, the class of L-matrices are those matrices whose off-diagonal entries are less than or equal to zero and whose diagonal entries are positive; that is, an L-matrix ''L'' satisfies :L=(\ell_);\quad \ell_ > 0; \quad \ell_\leq 0, \quad i\neq j. See also * Z-matrix—every L-matrix is a Z-matrix * Metzler matrix In mathematics, a Metzler matrix is a matrix in which all the off-diagonal components are nonnegative (equal to or greater than zero): : \forall_\, x_ \geq 0.

Z-matrix (mathematics)
In mathematics, the class of ''Z''-matrices are those matrices whose off-diagonal entries are less than or equal to zero; that is, the matrices of the form: :Z=(z_);\quad z_\leq 0, \quad i\neq j. Note that this definition coincides precisely with that of a negated Metzler matrix or quasipositive matrix, thus the term ''quasinegative'' matrix appears from time to time in the literature, though this is rare and usually only in contexts where references to quasipositive matrices are made. The Jacobian of a competitive dynamical system is a ''Z''-matrix by definition. Likewise, if the Jacobian of a cooperative dynamical system is ''J'', then (−''J'') is a ''Z''-matrix. Related classes are ''L''-matrices, ''M''-matrices, ''P''-matrices, ''Hurwitz'' matrices and ''Metzler'' matrices. ''L''-matrices have the additional property that all diagonal entries are greater than zero. M-matrices have several equivalent definitions, one of which is as follows: a ''Z''-matrix is an ' ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Matrix (mathematics)
In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices) is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or a property of such an object. For example, \begin1 & 9 & -13 \\20 & 5 & -6 \end is a matrix with two rows and three columns. This is often referred to as a "two by three matrix", a "-matrix", or a matrix of dimension . Without further specifications, matrices represent linear maps, and allow explicit computations in linear algebra. Therefore, the study of matrices is a large part of linear algebra, and most properties and operations of abstract linear algebra can be expressed in terms of matrices. For example, matrix multiplication represents composition of linear maps. Not all matrices are related to linear algebra. This is, in particular, the case in graph theory, of incidence matrices, and adjacency matrices. ''This article focuses on matrices related to linear algebra, and, unle ...

Metzler Matrix
In mathematics, a Metzler matrix is a matrix in which all the off-diagonal components are nonnegative (equal to or greater than zero): : \forall_\, x_ \geq 0. It is named after the American economist Lloyd Metzler. Metzler matrices appear in stability analysis of time delayed differential equations and positive linear dynamical systems. Their properties can be derived by applying the properties of nonnegative matrices to matrices of the form ''M'' + ''aI'', where ''M'' is a Metzler matrix. Definition and terminology In mathematics, especially linear algebra, a matrix is called Metzler, quasipositive (or quasi-positive) or essentially nonnegative if all of its elements are non-negative except for those on the main diagonal, which are unconstrained. That is, a Metzler matrix is any matrix ''A'' which satisfies :A=(a_);\quad a_\geq 0, \quad i\neq j. Metzler matrices are also sometimes referred to as Z^-matrices, as a ''Z''-matrix is equivalent to a negated quasip ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
