A square sign pattern matrixA(whose entries are +, −, or 0) is said to be powerful if all the powersA1,A2,A3,…, are unambiguously defined. For a powerful patternA, ifAl=Al+pwithlandpminimal, thenlis called the base ofAandpis called the period ofA. We characterize irreducible powerful sign pattern matrices and investigate the period and base of a powerful sign pattern matrix. We also consider some connections with real matrices and give some significant classes of powerful patterns.
