Abstract. Let Mn;m be the set of n-by-m matrices with entries inthe field of real numbers. A matrix R in Mn = Mn;n is a generalizedrow substochastic matrix (g-row substochastic, for short) if Re e, where e = (1; 1; : : : ; 1)t. For X; Y 2 Mn;m, X is said to besgut-majorized by Y (denoted by X sgut Y ) if there exists ann-by-n upper triangular g-row substochastic matrix R such thatX = RY . This ...

Suppose $textbf{M}_{n}$ is the vector space of all $n$-by-$n$ real matrices, and let $mathbb{R}^{n}$ be the set of all $n$-by-$1$ real vectors. A matrix $Rin textbf{M}_{n}$ is said to be $textit{row substochastic}$ if it has nonnegative entries and each row sum is at most $1$. For $x$, $y in mathbb{R}^{n}$, it is said that $x$ is $textit{sut-majorized}$ by $y$ (denoted by $ xprec_{sut} y$) if t...

A matrix R is said to be g-row substochastic if Re ≤ e. For X, Y ∈ Mn,m, it is said that X is sglt-majorized by Y , X ≺sglt Y , if there exists an n-by-n lower triangular g-row substochastic matrix R such that X = RY . This paper characterizes all (strong) linear preservers and strong linear preservers of ≺sglt on Rn and Mn,m, respectively.

for $a,bin m_{nm},$ we say that $a$ is left matrix majorized (resp. left matrix submajorized) by $b$ and write $aprec_{ell}b$ (resp. $aprec_{ell s}b$), if $a=rb$ for some $ntimes n$ row stochastic (resp. row substochastic) matrix $r.$ moreover, we define the relation $sim_{ell s} $ on $m_{nm}$ as follows: $asim_{ell s} b$ if $aprec_{ell s} bprec_{ell s} a.$ this paper characterizes all linear p...

We study the nonsymmetric algebraic Riccati equation whose four coefficient matrices are the blocks of a nonsingular M -matrix or an irreducible singular M -matrix M . The solution of practical interest is the minimal nonnegative solution. We show that Newton’s method with zero initial guess can be used to find this solution without any further assumptions. We also present a qualitative perturb...

Some special subsets of the set of uniformly tapered doubly stochastic matrices are considered. It is proved that each such subset is a convex polytope and its extreme points are determined. A minimality result for the whole set of uniformly tapered doubly stochastic matrices is also given. It is well known that if x and y are nonnegative vectors of R and x is weakly majorized by y, there exist...
