Extreme Points of Infinite-Dimensional Symmetric Doubly Stochastic Matrices
摘要
We provide a comprehensive characterization of the extreme points in the family of infinite-dimensional symmetric doubly stochastic matrices. This characterization is rooted in the cyclic decomposition of permutations on the set of integers. The explicit formulation of extreme points is applicable uniformly across all dimensions, revealing the existence of extreme points through permutations with no cycle of length \(4,6,8,\dots \) , nor any cycle of infinite length, while all other finite cycles are permissible.
