Abstract: |
By deducing characterisations of the matrices which have maximal determinant in the set of matrices with given entry sum and square sum, we prove the inequality for real -matrices , where and are the sum of the entries and the sum of the squared entries of , respectively, and , provided that . This result is applied to find an upper bound for the determinant of a matrix whose entries are a permutation of an arithmetic progression.
