Inverse of strictly diagonally dominant matrix












3












$begingroup$


I have a matrix whose diagonal entries are positive whereas non-diagonal entries are negative.This matrix is also Strictly diagonally dominant.



Can we say that all elements of the inverse of this matrix is strictly positive i.e $a_{ij}$>0 .

Yes. Scale $A$ by a positive factor and we may assume that $max_ia_{ii}<1$. Then $B:=I-A$ is positive and
$$
sum_j|b_{ij}|
=|b_{ii}|+sum_{jne i}|b_{ij}|
=1-a_{ii}+sum_{jne i}|a_{ij}|
<1
$$

for each $i$. Hence $|B|_infty<1$ and we may expand $A^{-1}=(I-B)^{-1}$ as an infinite sum $I+B+B^2+ldots$. However, as $B$ is positive, the infinite sum is positive too.
