Doubly stochastic realization of summable-sequence majorization
ID: doubly-stochastic-realization-of-summable-sequence-majorization
Decreasing strictly positive summable sequences with equal totals and admit an infinite doubly stochastic matrix realizing the displayed relation. Choose with and average the pair to obtain and . The remaining decreasing sequence majorizes the remaining target sequence: short initial sums contain values at least , and longer sums are the old sums minus . Repeat on the tail, freezing one normalized finite-support row at each stage. Limit column sums are at most one; Tonelli's theorem, equal finite totals and strict positivity of every force every column sum to equal one.
