Abstract:
      If every monic real polynomial of degree $n$ can be achieved as the characteristic polynomial of some matrix $B\in Q(A)$, then sign pattern $A$ of order $n$ is a spectrally arbitrary pattern. A sign pattern $A$ is minimally spectrally arbitrary if it is spectrally arbitrary but is not spectrally arbitrary if any nonzero entry (or entries) of $A$ is replaced by zero. In this article, we give some new sign patterns which are minimally spectrally arbitrary for order $n\geq 9$.
