Abstract: The process of alternately row scaling and column scaling a positive $nimesn$ matrix $A$ converges to a doubly stochastic positive $nimesn$ matrix $S(A)$, called the emph{Sinkhorn limit} of $A$. Exact formulae for the Sinkhorn limits of certain symmetric positive $3imes3$ matrices are computed, and related problems in diophantine approximation are considered.
