inertia; sign pattern matrix; tridiagonal matrix
Summary:
A matrix whose entries consist of elements from the set $\lbrace +,-,0\rbrace $ is a sign pattern matrix. Using a linear algebra theoretical approach we generalize of some recent results due to Hall, Li and others involving the inertia of symmetric tridiagonal sign matrices.
