We showed in an earlier paper that if $A^{-1}$ is nonnegative with $n$ zero diagonal entries, then $A$ can be copositive (for instance, this happens with the Horn matrix), and when $A$ is copositive, it cannot be of form $P+N$, where $P$ is positive semidefinite and $N$ is nonnegative and symmetric. Here, we show that if $A^{-1}$ is nonnegative with $n-1$ zero diagonal entries and one positive diagonal entry, then $A$ can be of the form $P+N$, and we show how to construct $A$.

For general sparse and badly scaled problems, numerical examples show that mixed and componentwise condition numbers are preferred than the normwise condition number for estimating the forward error of the solution, and structured condition numbers are tighter than the unstructured ones for some specific structured problems.","PeriodicalId":50540,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134961122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was shown in that paper that $I_1$-type algebras admit nontrivial $p$-power mean preserving functionals, and it was conjectured that $I_2$-type algebras admit only constant $p$-power mean preserving functionals. We confirm the latter. A similar result occurred in another recent paper of Molnár concerning the Wasserstein mean.
