Abstract

The well-known Birkhoff-von Neumann theorem states that a doubly stochastic matrix is a convex combination of permutation matrices. In this paper, we present a new concept for doubly stochastic tensors and study a generalization of this theorem for doubly stochastic tensors. Particularly, we prove that each permutation tensor is an extreme point of the set of doubly stochastic tensors, and the Birkhoff-von Neumann theorem holds for doubly stochastic tensors. Furthermore, an algorithm is proposed to find a convex combination of permutation tensors for any doubly stochastic tensor.
