On the cardinality of complex matrix scalings

George Hutchinson (2016)

Special Matrices

Similarity:

We disprove a conjecture made by Rajesh Pereira and Joanna Boneng regarding the upper bound on the number of doubly quasi-stochastic scalings of an n × n positive definite matrix. In doing so, we arrive at the true upper bound for 3 × 3 real matrices, and demonstrate that there is no such bound when n ≥ 4.

Transforming stochastic matrices for stochastic comparison with the st-order

Tuğrul Dayar, Jean-Michel Fourneau, Nihal Pekergin (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

We present a transformation for stochastic matrices and analyze the effects of using it in stochastic comparison with the strong stochastic (st) order. We show that unless the given stochastic matrix is row diagonally dominant, the transformed matrix provides better st bounds on the steady state probability distribution.
