Abstract

In this article the (weakly) sign-symmetric \(\big [(w)ss\big ]\) \(Q_0\)-matrix completion problems are studied. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for a digraph to have the (w)ss \(Q_0\)-completion are given. Lastly the digraphs of order up to four having (w)ss \(Q_0\)-completion have been sorted out.
