Summary:The present monograph on matrix partial orders. the first on this topic. makes a unique presentation of many partial orders on matrices that have fascinated mathematicians for their beauty and applied scientists for their wide-ranging application potential. Except for the Lowner order. the partial orders considered are relatively new and came into being in the late 1970s. After a detailed introduction to generalized inverses and decompositions. the three basic partial orders--namely. the minus. the sharp and the star--and the corresponding one-sided orders are presented using various generalized inverses. The authors then give a unified theory of all these partial orders as well as study the parallel sums and shorted matrices. the latter being studied at great length. Partial orders of modified matrices are a new addition. Finally. applications are given in statistics and electrical network theory. --Book Jacket.
