Given two sequences a and p of positive integers, it is shown that there exists a matrix with level characteristic a and height characteristic / 3 if and only if P strictly majorizes a when reordered in nonincreasing order. This generalizes a recently proven result for the case of matrices with simple singular vertices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
