Abstract
In [J.Y. Shao, L.H. You, Bound on the base of irreducible generalized sign pattern matrices, Discrete Math., in press], Shao and You extended the concept of the base from powerful sign pattern matrices to non-powerful (and generalized) sign pattern matrices. In this paper, we study the bases of primitive zero-symmetric sign pattern (and generalized sign pattern) matrices. Sharp upper bounds of the bases are obtained. We also show that there exist no “gaps” in the base sets of the classes of such matrices.
