Some bounds for determinants of relatively $D$-stable matrices

Abstract

In this paper, we study the class of relatively $D$-stable matrices and provide the conditions, sufficient for relative $D$-stability. We generalize the well-known Hadamard inequality, to provide upper bounds for the determinants of relatively $D$-stable and relatively additive $D$-stable matrices. For some classes of $D$-stable matrices, we estimate the sector gap between matrix spectra and the imaginary axis. We apply the developed technique to obtain upper bounds for determinants of some classes of $D$-stable matrices, e.g. diagonally stable, diagonally dominant and matrices with $Q^2$-scalings.
