Doubly Stochastic Interval Matrices

Abstract

Interval matrices have many applications in intelligent engineering problems such as robotics in computer science. In this paper, we will first describe the concepts of interval matrices. Next, we will introduce a new class of interval matrices, namely, doubly stochastic interval matrices. Finally, we will present some properties of this new class of matrices.

Keywords

• Stochastic matrix,interval matrix,doubly stochastic interval matrix
