The polytope of even doubly stochastic matrices
The polytope Q, of the convex combinations of the permutation matrices of order n is well known (Birkhoff’s theorem) to be the polytope of doubly stochastic matrices of order n. In particular it is easy to decide whether a matrix of order n belongs to Q,. . check to see that the entries are nonnegative and that all row and columns sums equal 1. Now the permutations z of { 1, 2, . . . . n} are i...
متن کاملOn the Volume of the Polytope of Doubly Stochastic Matrices
We study the calculation of the volume of the polytope Bn of n × n doubly stochastic matrices; that is, the set of real non-negative matrices with all row and column sums equal to one. We describe two methods. The first involves a decomposition of the polytope into simplices. The second involves the enumeration of “magic squares”, i.e., n×n non-negative integer matrices whose rows and columns a...
متن کاملFormulas for the Volumes of the Polytope of Doubly-stochastic Matrices and Its Faces
We provide an explicit combinatorial formula for the volume of the polytope of n× n doubly-stochastic matrices, also known as the Birkhoff polytope. We do this through the description of a generating function for all the lattice points of the closely related polytope of n × n real non-negative matrices with all row and column sums equal to an integer t. We can in fact recover similar formulas f...
متن کاملMinimum permanents on two faces of the polytope of doubly stochastic matrices∗
We consider the minimum permanents and minimising matrices on the faces of the polytope of doubly stochastic matrices whose nonzero entries coincide with those of, respectively, Um,n = [ In Jn,m Jm,n 0m ] and Vm,n = [ In Jn,m Jm,n Jm,m ] . We conjecture that Vm,n is cohesive but not barycentric for 1 < n < m + √ m and that it is not cohesive for n > m + √ m. We prove that it is cohesive for 1 <...
متن کاملSome Facets of the Polytope of Even Permutation Matrices
We describe a class of facets of the polytope of convex combinations of the collection of even n × n permutation matrices. As a consequence, we prove the conjecture of Brualdi and Liu [4] that the number of facets of the polytope is not bounded by a polynomial in n.
