Summary:
The sign pattern of a real matrix $A$, denoted by $\mathop {\rm sgn} A$, is the $(+,-,0)$-matrix obtained from $A$ by replacing each entry by its sign. Let $\mathcal {Q}(A)$ denote the set of all real matrices $B$ such that $\mathop {\rm sgn} B=\mathop {\rm sgn} A$. For a square real matrix $A$, the Drazin inverse of $A$ is the unique real matrix $X$ such that $A^{k+1}X=A^k$, $XAX=X$ and $AX=XA$, where $k$ is the Drazin index of $A$. We say that $A$ has signed Drazin inverse if $\mathop {\rm sgn} \widetilde {A}^{\rm d}=\mathop {\rm sgn} A^{\rm d}$ for any $\widetilde {A}\in \mathcal {Q}(A)$, where $A^{\rm d}$ denotes the Drazin inverse of $A$. In this paper, we give necessary conditions for some block triangular matrices to have signed Drazin inverse.
