Maximum and minimum value of trace of unistochastic matrix

23 Views Asked by At

Let $P$ be a unistochastic matrix, that is, there exists a unitary matrix $U$ such that $P_{ij}=|U_{ij}|^2$. What is the maximum and minimum value of $\mathrm{Tr}[P]$? I'm also interested in the existence of any other local minimum or maximum over the unistochastic matrices.
