The converse of the Cowling–Obrechkoff–Thron theorem

Devon N. Munger and Pietro Paparella

Vol. 18 (2025), No. 3, 473–478

Here we establish the converse of the Cowling–Obrechkoff–Thron theorem. In addition to its theoretical interest, the result fills a gap in the proof of Kellogg’s celebrated eigenvalue inequality for matrices whose principal minors are positive or nonnegative.
