Let Ai, i = 1, …, m, be a set of Ni × Ni−1 strictly totally positive (STP) matrices, with N0 = Nm = N. For a vector x = (x1, …, xN) ∈ RN and arbitrary p > 0, set We consider the eigenvalue-eigenvector problem where p1 … pm−1 = r. We prove an analogue of the classical Gantmacher-Krein theorem for the eigenvalue-eigenvector structure of STP matrices in the case where pi ≥ 1 for each i, plus various extensions thereof.
