Abstract: In the present paper we introduce a notion of G−decompositions of matrices. Main result of the paper is that a symmetric matrix Am has a G−decomposition in the class of stochastic (resp. substochastic) matrices if and only if Am belongs to the set mathbfUm (resp. mathbfUm). To prove the main result, we study extremal points and geometrical structures of the sets mathbfUm, mathbfUm. Note that such kind of investigations enables to study Birkhoff's problem for quadratic G−doubly stochastic operators.


The authors introduce a notion of \(G\)-decompositions of matrices. The main result is that a real symmetric matrix \(A_m\) of degree \(m\) has a \(G\)-decomposition in the category of stochastic (respectively, substochastic) matrices if and only if \(A_m\in U^m \text{ (respectively, }U_m\)). To prove this result, they study the extreme points and the geometric structures of the sets \(U^m\) (respectively, \(U_m\)). The study enables one to study the Birkhoff problem for quadratic \(G\)-doubly stochastic operators.
