TL;DR
This paper characterizes generalized tournament matrices with identical principal minors of orders 2, 3, and 4, showing these minors determine all other principal minors, thus revealing their structural significance.
Contribution
It provides a complete characterization of generalized tournament matrices based on principal minors of small orders, establishing their determining role for the entire matrix structure.
Findings
Principal minors of orders 2, 3, and 4 determine all other principal minors.
A characterization of generalized tournament matrices with equal principal minors is established.
The results reveal the structural importance of small-order principal minors in these matrices.
Abstract
A generalized tournament matrix is a nonnegative matrix that satisfies , where is the all ones matrix and is the identity matrix. In this paper, a characterization of generalized tournament matrices with the same principal minors of orders , , and is given. In particular, it is proven that the principal minors of orders , , and determine the rest of the principal minors.
