AbstractA set in the complex plane which involves n parameters in [0, 1] is given to localize all eigenvalues different from 1 for stochastic matrices. As an application of this set, an upper bound for the moduli of the subdominant eigenvalues of a stochastic matrix is obtained. Lastly, we fix n parameters in [0, 1] to give a new set including all eigenvalues different from 1, which is tighter than those provided by Shen et al. (Linear Algebra Appl. 447 (2014) 74-87) and Li et al. (Linear and Multilinear Algebra 63(11) (2015) 2159-2170) for estimating the moduli of subdominant eigenvalues.

SummaryA purely combinatorial and elementary proof of Johnson-Dulmage-Mendelsohn's theorem, which gives a quite sharp upper bound on the number of permutation matrices needed for representing a doubly stochastic matrix by their convex combination, is given.

In this paper, we give a new Z-eigenvalue localization set for Z-eigenvalues of structured fourth order tensors. As applications, a sharper upper bound for the Z-spectral radius of weakly symmetric nonnegative fourth order tensors is obtained and a new Z-eigenvalue based sufficient condition for the positive definiteness of fourth order tensors is also presented. Finally, numerical examples are given to verify the efficiency of our results.

Conjectures on permanents are well-known unsettled conjectures in linear algebra. Let A be an n×n matrix and Sn be the symmetric group on n element set. The permanent of A is defined as perA=∑σ∈Sn∏i=1naiσ(i). The Merris conjectured that for all n×n doubly stochastic matrices (denoted by Ωn), nperA≥min1≤i≤n∑j=1nperA(j|i), where A(j|i) denotes the matrix obtained from A by deleting the jth row and ith column. Foregger raised a question whether per(tJn+(1−t)A)≤perA for 0≤t≤nn−1 and for all A∈Ωn, where Jn is a doubly stochastic matrix with each entry 1n. The Merris conjecture is one of the well-known conjectures on permanents. This conjecture is still open for n≥4. In this paper, we prove the Merris inequality for some classes of matrices. We use the sub permanent inequalities to prove our results. Foregger’s inequality is also one of the well-known inequalities on permanents, and it is not yet proved for n≥5. Using the concepts of elementary symmetric function and subpermanents, we prove the Foregger’s inequality for n=5 in [0.25, 0.6248]. Let σk(A) be the sum of all subpermanents of order k. Holens and Dokovic proposed a conjecture (Holen–Dokovic conjecture), which states that if A∈Ωn,A≠Jn and k is an integer, 1≤k≤n, then σk(A)≥(n−k+1)2nkσk−1(A). In this paper, we disprove the conjecture for n=k=4.

In [1] G. Birkhoff stated an algorithm for expressing a doubly stochastic matrix as an average of permutation matrices. In this note we prove two graphical lemmas and use these to find an upper bound for the number of permutation matrices which the Birkhoff algorithm may use.A doubly stochastic matrix is a matrix of non-negative elements with row and column sums equal to unity and is there - fore a square matrix. A permutation matrix is an n × n doubly stochastic matrix which has n2-n zeros and consequently has n ones, one in each row and one in each column. It has been shown by Birkhoff [1],Hoffman and Wielandt [5] and von Neumann [7] that the set of all doubly stochastic matrices, considered as a set of points in a space of n2 dimensions constitute the convex hull of permutation matrices.

Abstract A new eigenvalue localization set for tensors is given and proved to be tighter than those presented by Qi (J. Symbolic Comput., 2005, 40, 1302-1324) and Li et al. (Numer. Linear Algebra Appl., 2014, 21, 39-50). As an application, a weaker checkable sufficient condition for the positive (semi-)definiteness of an even-order real symmetric tensor is obtained. Meanwhile, an S-type E-eigenvalue localization set for tensors is given and proved to be tighter than that presented by Wang et al. (Discrete Cont. Dyn.-B, 2017, 22(1), 187-198). As an application, an S-type upper bound for the Z-spectral radius of weakly symmetric nonnegative tensors is obtained. Finally, numerical examples are given to verify the theoretical results.

In this paper, by excluding some sets from the Brauer-type eigenvalue inclusion sets for tensors developed by Bu et al. (Linear Algebra Appl. 512 (2017) 234-248) and Li et al. (Linear and Multilinear Algebra 64 (2016) 727-736), some improved Brauer-type eigenvalue localization sets for tensors are given, which are proved to be much tighter than those put forward by Bu et al. and Li et al. As applications, some new criteria for identifying the nonsingularity of tensors are developed, which are better than some previous results. This fact is illustrated by some numerical examples.

Based on the S-type eigenvalue localization set developed by Li et al. (Linear Algebra Appl. 493 (2016) 469-483) for tensors, a modified S-type eigenvalue localization set for tensors is established in this paper by excluding some sets from the existing S-type eigenvalue localization set developed by Huang et al. (arXiv: 1602.07568v1, 2016). The proposed set containing all eigenvalues of tensors is much sharper compared with that employed by Li et al. and Huang et al. As its applications, a criteria, which can be utilized for identifying the nonsingularity of tensors, is developed. In addition, we provide new upper and lower bounds for the spectral radius of nonnegative tensors and the minimum H-eigenvalue of weakly irreducible strong M-tensors. These bounds are superior to some previous results, which is illustrated by some numerical examples.

The permanent of an n × n matrix A = (aij) is defined aswhere Sn is the symmetric group of order n. For a survey article on permanents the reader is referred to [2]. An unresolved conjecture due to van der Waerden states that if A is an n × n doubly stochastic matrix; then per (A) ≧ n!/nn, with equality if and only if A = Jn = (1/n).

Let P be an infinite irreducible stochastic matrix, recurrent positive and stochastically monotone and Pn be any n × n stochastic matrix with Pn ≧ Tn , where Tn denotes the n × n northwest corner truncation of P. These assumptions imply the existence of limit distributions π and π n for P and Pn respectively. We show that if the Markov chain with transition probability matrix P meets the further condition of geometric recurrence then the exact convergence rate of π n to π can be expressed in terms of the radius of convergence of the generating function of π. As an application of the preceding result, we deal with the random walk on a half line and prove that the assumption of geometric recurrence can be relaxed. We also show that if the i.i.d. input sequence (A(m)) is such that we can find a real number r 0 > 1 with , then the exact convergence rate of π n to π is characterized by r 0. Moreover, when the generating function of A is not defined for |z| > 1, we derive an upper bound for the distance between π n and π based on the moments of A.
