Abstract

Löwner matrices are special matrices which were first used by Löwner in [4] to characterize the so-called monotone matrix functions. Löwner showed also their connection with the problem of rational interpolation (for these questions see also Donoghue [2], Belevitch [1] and Fiedler [3]). Löwner matrices also occur in applications, for example in the theory of electric networks. In this paper we show that for a nonsingular Löwner matrix L = c i−d j y i−z j n−1 i,j=0 the matrix ( L -1) T can be written in the form ( L -1) T = D 1 L′ D 2 where D 1 and D 2 are diagonal matrices and L′ is again a Löwner matrix of the form y i−δ j y i−z j n−1 i,j=0 For a more detailed description of all forms L -1 = D 1 L′ D 2 possible we introduce the notion of D-classes of the Löwner matrices.
