Abstract

The sign central matrices were characterized by Ando and Brualdi. And, the nearly sign central matrices were characterized by Lee and Cheon. In this paper, we give another characterization of nearly sign central matrices. Also, we introduce the nearly minimal sign central matrices and study the properties of nearly minimal sign central matrices.
