Sign pattern matrices associated with cycle graphs that require algebraic positivity

Combinatorics 2025-12-16 v4

Abstract

A real matrix is said to be positive if its every entry is positive, and a real square matrix A is algebraically positive if there exists a real polynomial f such that f(A) is a positive matrix. A sign pattern matrix A is said to require a property if all matrices having sign pattern as A have that property. In this paper, we characterize all sign pattern matrices associated with cycle graphs that require algebraic positivity.
