The Bruhat order is defined in terms of an interchange operation on the set of permutation matrices of order n which corresponds to the transposition of a pair of elements in a permutation. We introduce an extension of this partial order, which we call the stochastic Bruhat order, for the larger class Ω_{n} of doubly stochastic matrices (convex hull of n×n permutation matrices). An alternative description of this partial order is given. We define a class of special faces of Ω_{n} induced by permutation matrices, which we call Bruhat faces. Several examples of Bruhat faces are given and several results are presented., Richard A. Brualdi, Geir Dahl, Eliseu Fritscher., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
