On spectral properties of doubly stochastic matrices

Abstract

The relationship among eigenvalues, singular values, and quadratic forms associated with linear transforms of doubly stochastic matrices has remained an important topic since 1949. The main objective of this article is to present some useful theorems, concerning the spectral properties of doubly stochastic matrices. The computation of the bounds of structured singular values for a family of doubly stochastic matrices is presented by using low-rank ordinary differential equations-based techniques. The numerical computations illustrating the behavior of the method and the spectrum of doubly stochastic matrices is then numerically analyzed.
