Abstract
We establish a characterization of almost P-matrices via a sign non-reversal property. In this we are inspired by the analogous results for N-matrices. Next, the interval hull of two m�n matrices A=(aij) and B=(bij), denoted by I(A,B), is the collection of all matrices C�Rn�n such that each cij is a convex combination of aij and bij. Using the sign non-reversal property, we identify a finite subset of I(A,B) that determines if all matrices in I(A,B) are N-matrices/almost P-matrices. This provides a test for an entire class of matrices simultaneously to be N-matrices/almost P-matrices. We also establish analogous results for semipositive and minimally semipositive matrices. These characterizations may be considered similar in spirit to that of P-matrices by Bia�as�Garloff 1 and Rohn�Rex 16, and of positive definite matrices by Rohn 15. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
