Abstract

The question of which ratios of products of principal minors are bounded over all matrices in a given class has been of interest historically. This question is settled herein for the class of tridiagonal sign-symmetric Pmatrices, which essentially lies in each of the classes: positive definite, invertible totally nonnegative and M-matrices. It happens that all bounded ratios are bounded by one.
