Stochastic matrices and the Boyle and Handelman conjecture
Let A be an $n times n$ stochastic matrix with rank($A) leq r (1 leq r leq n$). A reformulation of the Boyle and Handelman Conjecture is det($I-tA) leq1-t sp{r}$ for all real numbers t satisfying $0 leq t leq1$. === In this thesis, we prove that this conjecture is true for $n times n$ stochastic mat...
