A note on majorization transforms and Ryser’s algorithm
The notion of a transfer (or T -transform) is central in the theory of majorization. For instance, it lies behind the characterization of majorization in terms of doubly stochastic matrices. We introduce a new type of majorization transfer called L-transforms and prove some of its properties. Moreover, we discuss how L-transforms give a new perspective on Ryser’s algorithm for constructing (0; 1)-matrices with given row and column sums.
Doubly stochastic matrices and the Bruhat order
The Bruhat order is defined in terms of an interchange operation on the set of permutation matrices of order which corresponds to the transposition of a pair of elements in a permutation. We introduce an extension of this partial order, which we call the stochastic Bruhat order, for the larger class of doubly stochastic matrices (convex hull of permutation matrices). An alternative description of this partial order is given. We define a class of special faces of induced by permutation matrices,...
