Maximum determinant of (0,1)-matrices with certain constant row and column sums |
The maximum absolute value of the determinant of nonsingular (0,1)-matrices that have constant line sums (i.e., row sums and column sums) k is investigated. For , k=2, this maximum determinant is determined. A lower bound for the maximum absolute value of the determinant for k=3 is also given, but in general this bound is not tight. Other determinantal values and bounds for specific n and k are provided. This is joint work with Professor Pauline van den Driessche.
