Abstract
In this paper, we provide some characterizations of inverse M-matrices with special zero patterns. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for k-diagonal matrices and symmetric k-diagonal matrices to be inverse M-matrices. In addition, results for triadic matrices, tridiagonal matrices and symmetric 5-diagonal matrices are presented as corollaries.
