Doubly stochastic matrices #
Main definitions #
doublyStochastic: a square matrix is doubly stochastic if all entries are nonnegative, and left or right multiplication by the vector of all 1s gives the vector of all 1s. Equivalently, all row and column sums are equal to 1.
Main statements #
convex_doublyStochastic: The set of doubly stochastic matrices is convex.permMatrix_mem_doublyStochastic: Any permutation matrix is doubly stochastic.

A square matrix is doubly stochastic iff all entries are nonnegative, and left or right multiplication by the vector of all 1s gives the vector of all 1s.

column sums are equal to s.
This lemma is useful for the proof of Birkhoff's theorem - in particular because it allows scaling by nonnegative factors rather than positive ones only.
