contents Birkhoff polytope is the set of all bistochastic matrices (also known as doubly stochastic matrices). Bistochastic matrices form a special class of stochastic matrices where each row and column sums up to one. Permutation matrices and uniform matrices are special extreme cases of bistochastic matrices. In this paper, we define a scalar quantity called the matching factor on the Birkhoff polytope. Given a bistochastic matrix, we define the matching factor by taking the product of the squares of the Euclidean norms of each row and column and show that permutation matrices and uniform matrices maximize and minimize the matching factor, respectively. We also extend this definition of scalar matching factor to a larger class of matrices and show similar maximization and minimization properties.
