Abstract
We propose a graph theoretic approach to determine the trace of the product of two permutation matrices through a weighted digraph representation for a pair of permutation matrices. Consequently, we derive trace-zero doubly stochastic (DS) matrices of order 5 whose k-th power is also a trace-zero DS matrix for . Then, we determine necessary conditions for the coefficients of a generic polynomial of degree 5 to be realizable as the characteristic polynomial of a trace-zero DS matrix of order 5. Finally, we approximate the eigenvalue region of trace-zero DS matrices of order 5.
期刊介绍:
Linear Algebra and its Applications publishes articles that contribute new information or new insights to matrix theory and finite dimensional linear algebra in their algebraic, arithmetic, combinatorial, geometric, or numerical aspects. It also publishes articles that give significant applications of matrix theory or linear algebra to other branches of mathematics and to other sciences. Articles that provide new information or perspectives on the historical development of matrix theory and linear algebra are also welcome. Expository articles which can serve as an introduction to a subject for workers in related areas and which bring one to the frontiers of research are encouraged. Reviews of books are published occasionally as are conference reports that provide an historical record of major meetings on matrix theory and linear algebra.
