On a Conjecture concerning Doubly Stochastic Matrices

On A Conjecture Concerning Doubly Stochastic Matrices

In a 2002 paper, Kirkland showed that if T ∈ Rn×n is an irreducible stochastic matrix with stationary distribution vector πT , then for A = I − T , maxj=1,...,n πj‖A j ‖∞ ≥ n−1 n , where Aj , j = 1, . . . , n, are the (n − 1) × (n − 1) principal submatrices of A obtained by deleting the j–th row and column of A. He also conjectured that equality holds in that lower bound if and only if either T...

On a Result of S. Sherman concerning Doubly Stochastic Matrices

He also defines, following Hardy, Littlewood and Polya [3] a partial ordering of w-dimensional real vectors: a<b if, and only if, there exists a d.s. matrix P such that a = Pb. In the above named article, the author investigates a conjecture of S. Kakutani to the effect that, if two d.s. matrices are such that Pi& <P3a for every real vector a, then Pi<P3. For this purpose he constructs a linear...

Concerning Hausdorff Matrices and Absolutely Convergent Sequences1

for£}=0, 1,2,.... This paper is concerned with the determination of those generalized Hausdorff matrices which sum all absolutely convergent sequences. Theorem 2 gives a sufficiency condition stated in terms of the behavior of the points of continuity of the graph of g and Theorems 3 and 4 provide examples which serve to further describe functions which generate such matrices. Theorem 5 gives a...

Stochastic Galerkin Matrices

We investigate the structural, spectral and sparsity properties of Stochastic Galerkin matrices as arise in the discretization of linear differential equations with random coefficient functions. These matrices are characterized as the Galerkin representation of polynomial multiplication operators. In particular, it is shown that the global Galerkin matrix associated with complete polynomials ca...
