Constructing (0,1)-Matrices with Given Line Sums and Certain Fixed Zeros

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis ((ANHA))

Abstract

Consider the class AP(R, S) of (0, 1)-matrices with row sum vector R, column sum vector S, and zeros in all positions outside a certain set P. It is assumed that P satisfies a certain monotonicity property. We show the existence of a canonical matrix in this matrix class and give a simple algorithm for finding this matrix. Moreover, a classical interchange result of Ryser is generalized to the class AP(R, S) and the uniqueness question for the class AP(R, S) is discussed.
