matrix: solve for square matrix with 0 diagonal












0












$begingroup$


I have an equation of $XI = Y$, where I know $I$ (vector of 1s) and $Y$ (vector of positive integers). I want to find positive square matrix $X$, I also know that the diagonal entries of $X$ are all 0.



So example is $X$ is 3x3, $I$ is 3x1 and $Y$ is 3x1.



How can I solve this? There could be multiple solutions.

          Let $X=(x_{jk})_{j,k=1}^3$ and $Y=(l,m,n)^T$ with $l,m,n in mathbb N.$ Since $x_{11}=x_{22}=x_{33}=0$, we get from $XI=Y$ the equations



          $x_{12}+x_{13}=l, x_{21}+x_{23}=m$ and $x_{31}+x_{32}=n.$



          Can you proceed ?

            The Moore-Penrose inverse can be used to write the general solution to any linear equation, i.e.
            $$(XA = Y) implies X = YA^+ + C - CAA^+$$ where $C$ is an arbitrary matrix.



            In the current problem the matrices $(A,Y)$ are replaced by the vectors $(1,y)$, yielding
            $$eqalign{
            X &= y1^+ + C - C11^+ cr
            }$$

            For a real vector, the MP-inverse can be written in terms of the transpose
            $$a^+ = frac{a^T}{a^Ta}$$
            so we can write
            $$1^+ = tfrac{1}{3}1^T$$
            Extract the $k^{th}$ diagonal element of the matrix by multiplying from the left with $e_k^T$ and from the right with $e_k$, and set it to zero.
            $$eqalign{
            X_{kk} &= e_k^TXe_k cr
            0 &= tfrac{1}{3}y_k + C_{kk} - tfrac{1}{3}e_k^TC1 cr
            0 &= y_k + 3C_{kk} - e_k^TC1 cr
            }$$

            There are more unknowns than equations, so let's constrain the matrix to $C={rm Diag}(c).$
            $$eqalign{
            0 &= y_k + 3c_{k} - e_k^Tc cr
            c_k &= -tfrac{1}{2}y_k &implies
            C &= -tfrac{1}{2}{rm Diag}(y) cr
            }$$

            Putting it all together, and generalizing the dimensions from $(3to n)$ yields
            $$eqalign{
            X &= tfrac{1}{n}y1^T - tfrac{1}{n-1}{rm Diag}(y) + tfrac{1}{n(n-1)}{rm Diag}(y)11^T cr
            }$$

                          The Moore-Penrose inverse can be used to write the general solution to any linear equation, i.e.
                          $$(XA = Y) implies X = YA^+ + C - CAA^+$$ where $C$ is an arbitrary matrix.



                          In the current problem the matrices $(A,Y)$ are replaced by the vectors $(1,y)$, yielding
                          $$eqalign{
                          X &= y1^+ + C - C11^+ cr
                          }$$

                          For a real vector, the MP-inverse can be written in terms of the transpose
                          $$a^+ = frac{a^T}{a^Ta}$$
                          so we can write
                          $$1^+ = tfrac{1}{3}1^T$$
                          Extract the $k^{th}$ diagonal element of the matrix by multiplying from the left with $e_k^T$ and from the right with $e_k$, and set it to zero.
                          $$eqalign{
                          X_{kk} &= e_k^TXe_k cr
                          0 &= tfrac{1}{3}y_k + C_{kk} - tfrac{1}{3}e_k^TC1 cr
                          0 &= y_k + 3C_{kk} - e_k^TC1 cr
                          }$$

                          There are more unknowns than equations, so let's constrain the matrix to $C={rm Diag}(c).$
                          $$eqalign{
                          0 &= y_k + 3c_{k} - e_k^Tc cr
                          c_k &= -tfrac{1}{2}y_k &implies
                          C &= -tfrac{1}{2}{rm Diag}(y) cr
                          }$$

                          Putting it all together, and generalizing the dimensions from $(3to n)$ yields
                          $$eqalign{
                          X &= tfrac{1}{n}y1^T - tfrac{1}{n-1}{rm Diag}(y) + tfrac{1}{n(n-1)}{rm Diag}(y)11^T cr
                          }$$
