A class of inverse \(M\)-matrices. (English) Zbl 0956.15012

Nonnegative matrices whose inverses are \(M\)-matrices are called inverse \(M\)-matrices. It is still an open problem to characterize all inverse \(M\)-matrices. In this note a new class of inverse \(M\)-matrices is established. This class of nonsymmetric matrices generalizes the class of strictly ultrametic matrices. Section 2 contains the results. The class of inverse \(M\)-matrices is constructed in a similar way as the class of generalized ultrametric matrices.
