โฆ Synopsis
It is well known that for real n-vectors y and x, y majorizes x if and only if Ay = x for some doubly stochastic matrix A of order n. If the components of each of y and x are in nonincreasing order, then it is known that the mat~x A can be chosen to be positive semidefinite symmetric. We characterize when there is a positive definite doubly stochastic matrix A such that Ay = x.

In this paper we give a method of constructing generalized Hessenberg matrices from those of smaller orders, with a simple combinatorial justiยฎcation. Making use of this construction, we also prove that, for real n-vectors x and y whose components are arranged in nonincreasing order, x is majorized
