摘要
According to a long standing conjecture, the geometric location of eigenvalues of doubly stochastic matrices of order n is exactly the union of regular k- gons anchored at 1 in the unit disc for 2 <= k <= n. It is easy to verify this fact for n = 2, 3. But, for n >= 4, it has been an open question. We show that this conjecture is wrong for n 5.
