Abstract
As an improvement of the combinatorial realization of totally positive matrices via the essential positive weightings of certain planar network by S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky [7], in this paper, we give a test method of positive definite matrices via the planar networks and the so-called mixing-type sub-cluster algebras respectively, introduced here originally. This work firstly gives a combinatorial realization of all matrices through planar network, and then sets up a test method for positive definite matrices by LDU-decompositions and the horizontal weightings of all lines in their planar networks. On the other hand, mainly the relationship is built between positive definite matrices and mixing-type sub-cluster algebras.
