To study when these bounds are exact, we introduce several combinatorial concepts. In particular, we introduce regular, pseudo-regular, and almost regular matrices. Nonnegative, symmetric, almost regular matrices were studied earlier by Hoffman, Wolfe, and Hoffmeister.Functional AnalysisCombinatorics15A42Regular, pseudo-regular, and almost regular matricestext
