چکیده

For n a positive integer, we show that the number of of 2n-tuples of integers that are the row and column sums of some n × n matrix with entries in {0, 1} is evenly divisible by n+1. This confirms a conjecture of Benton, Snow, and Wallach. We also consider a q-analogue for m×n matrices. We give an efficient recursion formula for this analogue. We prove a divisibility result in this context that implies the n + 1 divisibility result.

On the Number of Matrices and a Random Matrix with Prescribed Row and Column Sums and 0-1 Entries

We consider the set Σ(R, C) of all m×n matrices having 0-1 entries and prescribed row sums R = (r1, . . . , rm) and column sums C = (c1, . . . , cn). We prove an asymptotic estimate for the cardinality |Σ(R, C)| via the solution to a convex optimization problem. We show that if Σ(R, C) is sufficiently large, then a random matrix D ∈ Σ(R, C) sampled from the uniform probability measure in Σ(R, C...

Linear 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...

Matrices with Prescribed Row and Column Sums

This is a survey of the recent progress and open questions on the structure of the sets of 0-1 and non-negative integer matrices with prescribed row and column sums. We discuss cardinality estimates, the structure of a random matrix from the set, discrete versions of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality and the statistical dependence between row and column sums.

Asymptotic enumeration of dense 0-1 matrices with specified line sums and forbidden positions

Let s = (s1, s2, . . . , sm) and t = (t1, t2, . . . , tn) be vectors of non-negative integers with ∑m i=1 si = ∑n j=1 tj, and let X = (xjk) be an m × n matrix over {0, 1}. Define B(s, t,X) to be the number of m×n matrices B = (bjk) over {0, 1} with row sums given by s and column sums given by t such that xjk = 1 implies bjk = 0 for all j, k. That is, X specifies a set of entries of B required t...

An Asymptotic Formula for the Number of Non-negative Integer Matrices with Prescribed Row and Column Sums

We count m×n non-negative integer matrices (contingency tables) with prescribed row and column sums (margins). For a wide class of smooth margins we establish a computationally efficient asymptotic formula approximating the number of matrices within a relative error which approaches 0 as m and n grow.
