Abstract
In a recent paper [1], Aganagic and Cottle have established a constructive characterization for aP 0-matrix to be aQ-matrix. Among the principal results in this paper, we show that the same characterization holds for anL-matrix as well, and that the symmetric copositive-plusQ-matrices are precisely those which are strictly copositive.
