Abstract: | An n×n sign pattern admits a matrix with zero-line-sums and rank n?1 if and only if it is fully indecomposable and every arc of an associated directed bipartite graph lies on a circuit. This proves a conjecture of Fiedler and Grone made in the study of sign patterns of inverse-positive matrices. |
