In (8) M. V. Menon investigates the diagonal equivalence of a non-negative matrix A to one with prescribed row and column sums and shows that this equivalence holds provided there exists at least one non-negative matrix with these row and column sums and with zeros in exactly the same positions A has zeros. However, he leaves open the question of when such a matrix exists. W. B. Jurkat and H.J. Ryser in (7) study the convex set of all m × n non-negative matrices having given row and column sums.
