Separating doubly nonnegative and completely positive matrices
The cone of Completely Positive (CP) matrices can be used to exactly formulate a variety of NP-Hard optimization problems. A tractable relaxation for CP matrices is provided by the cone of Doubly Nonnegative (DNN) matrices; that is, matrices that are both positive semidefinite and componentwise nonnegative. A natural problem in the optimization setting is then to separate a given DNN but non-CP...
متن کاملDoubly stochastic matrices of trees
In this paper, we obtain sharp upper and lower bounds for the smallest entries of doubly stochastic matrices of trees and characterize all extreme graphs which attain the bounds. We also present a counterexample to Merris’ conjecture on relations between the smallest entry of the doubly stochastic matrix and the algebraic connectivity of a graph in [R. Merris, Doubly stochastic graph matrices I...
متن کاملRandom doubly stochastic tridiagonal matrices
Let Tn be the compact convex set of tridiagonal doubly stochastic matrices. These arise naturally in probability problems as birth and death chains with a uniform stationary distribution. We study ‘typical’ matrices T ∈ Tn chosen uniformly at random in the set Tn. A simple algorithm is presented to allow direct sampling from the uniform distribution on Tn. Using this algorithm, the elements abo...
متن کاملHoffman Polynomials of Nonnegative Irreducible Matrices and Strongly Connected Digraphs
For a nonnegative n× n matrix A, we find that there is a polynomial f(x) ∈ R[x] such that f(A) is a positive matrix of rank one if and only if A is irreducible. Furthermore, we show that the lowest degree such polynomial f(x) with tr f(A) = n is unique. Thus, generalizing the well-known definition of the Hoffman polynomial of a strongly connected regular digraph, for any irreducible nonnegative...
متن کاملThe 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...
