Abstract

Firstly we study necessary and sufficient conditions for the constant row sums symmetric inverse eigenvalue problem to have a solution and sufficient conditions for the symmetric stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem to have a solution. Then we introduce the concept of general solutions for the symmetric stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem and the concept of totally general solutions for the $3\times3$ symmetric stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem. Finally we study the necessary and sufficient conditions for the symmetric stochastic inverse eigenvalue problems of order 3 to have general solutions, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for the symmetric stochastic inverse eigenvalue problems of order 3 to have a totally general solution.

Highlights

  • For a square matrix A, let σ (A) denote the spectrum of A

  • Given an n-tuple = (λ, . . . , λn) of numbers, the problem of deciding the existence of an n × n matrix A with σ (A) = is called the inverse eigenvalue problem which has for a long time been one of the problems of main interest in the theory of matrices

  • Since stochastic matrices are important nonnegative matrices, it is surely important to investigate the existence of stochastic matrices with a prescribed spectrum under certain conditions

Summary

Introduction

For a square matrix A, let σ (A) denote the spectrum of A. Proof ( ) If S, S are equivalent, S = PSQD for some permutation matrices P, Q and diagonal unipotent matrix D. That two solutions of the SCRSIEP for associated with equivalent typical orthogonal matrices are permutationally similar to each other. Sn∗ is a non-symmetric typical orthogonal matrix for any integer n >. Sn∗ are the typical orthogonal matrices given by Any × typical orthogonal matrix which having no entry equal to zero must be equivalent to. Proof Let S be a × typical orthogonal matrix which has no zero entry. Any × typical orthogonal matrix must be equivalent to the matrix S (x) given by Proof Let S be a × typical orthogonal matrix. The following are some important × irreducible typical orthogonal matrices:

Note that is equivalent to both
Proof We have
Now condition implies
