nested matrix; tridiagonal matrix; inverse $M$-matrix; principal minor; determinant; $QR$-factorization
Summary:
Given a sequence of real or complex numbers, we construct a sequence of nested, symmetric matrices. We determine the $LU$- and $QR$-factorizations, the determinant and the principal minors for such a matrix. When the sequence is real, positive and strictly increasing, the matrices are strictly positive, inverse $M$-matrices with symmetric, irreducible, tridiagonal inverses.
