Description

The sub-defect of an n x n doubly substochastic matrix S, denoted by sd(S); is defined to be the smallest integer k such that there exists an (n + k) x (n + k) doubly stochastic matrix containing S as a submatrix. Let A and B be arbitrary doubly substochastic matrices. We show that AB is also a doubly substochastic matrix and max{sd(A), sd(B)} ≤ sd(AB) ≤ min{n, sd(A) + sd(B)}.
