Abstract
This is an expository-research paper which attempts to unify many of the more recent results on nonsingular and singular M-matrices (in the sense of Ostrowski and Schneider). Insight and direction are given to additional research on this very useful class of matrices and some new results are presented.

Accurate Eigenvalues and SVDs of Totally Nonnegative Matrices
We consider the class of totally nonnegative (TN) matrices---matrices all of whose minors are nonnegative. Any nonsingular TN matrix factors as a product of nonnegative bidiagonal matrices. The entries of the bidiagonal factors parameterize the set of ...
Inverse eigenvalue problems of tridiagonal symmetric matrices and tridiagonal bisymmetric matrices
The problem of generating a matrix A with specified eigenpairs, where A is a tridiagonal symmetric matrix, is presented. A general expression of such a matrix is provided, and the set of such matrices is denoted by S"E. Moreover, the corresponding least-...
Preconditioning Highly Indefinite and Nonsymmetric Matrices
Standard preconditioners, like incomplete factorizations, perform well when the coefficient matrix is diagonally dominant, but often fail on general sparse matrices. We experiment with nonsymmetric permutations and scalings aimed at placing large entries ...
