Abstract

We explore new results between P-matrix property and regularity of interval matrices . In particular, we show that an interval matrix is regular in and only if some special matrices constructed from its center and radius matrices are P-matrices . We also investigate the converse direction. We reduce the problem of checking P-matrix property to regularity of a special interval matrix . Based on this reduction, novel sufficient condition for a P-matrix property is derived, and its strength is inspected. We also state a new observation to interval P-matrices .
