چکیده
In multivariate statistical analysis. orthogonally invariant sets of real positive definite pxp matrices occur as acceptance regions for tests of invariant hypotheses concerning the covariance matrix [ of a multivariate normal distribution. Equivalently. orthogonally invariant acceptance regions can be expressed in terms of the eigenvalues I, (S). .... lp(S) of a random Wishart matrix S Wp(n. [) with n degrees of freedom and expectation nL The probabi I it ies of such regions depend on [ only through A, ([) ..... Ap([). the eigenvalues of L In this paper. the behavior of these probabi I i ties is studied when some Ai increase while others decrease. Our results will be expressed in terms of the tnejorizetion ordering applied to the vector J.l == ()l,([) . ... . )lp([)). where )lp([) = log Ap([L and have implications for the unbiaseoness and monotonicity of the power functions of orthogonally invariant tests.

Linear maps preserving or strongly preserving majorization on matrices
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...
متن کاملLinear preservers of g-row and g-column majorization on M_{n,m}
Let A and B be n × m matrices. The matrix B is said to be g-row majorized (respectively g-column majorized) by A, if every row (respectively column) of B, is g-majorized by the corresponding row (respectively column) of A. In this paper all kinds of g-majorization are studied on Mn,m, and the possible structure of their linear preservers will be found. Also all linear operators T : Mn,m ---> Mn...
