fully indecomposable matrix
An matrix that contains an zero submatrix![]()
for some positive integer is said to be partly decomposable. If no such submatrix exists then is said to be it fully indecomposable.By convention, a matrix is fully indecomposable if it is nonzero. is nearly decomposable if it fully indecomposable but whenever a nonzero entry is changed to 0 the resulting matrix is partly decomposable.
