Equality of the bistochastic and correlation-matrix parameters
Equality of the bistochastic and correlation-matrix parameters
Let be the smallest nonnegative number such that
and let be the smallest nonnegative number such that
Here is the set of by symmetric bistochastic matrices, is the relevant distinguished symmetric bistochastic matrix, is the convex set of real correlation matrices, and is the convex hull of the real rank-one correlation matrices. Equality conjecture.
The conjecture is motivated by the close relationship between self-dual doubly stochastic maps, symmetric bistochastic matrices, and real correlation matrices. The equality is known for , where both parameters have the values and , but the general case remains open.
