| 2024 | Matrix Majorization in Large SamplesabstractOne tuple of probability vectors is more informative than another tuple when there exists a single stochastic matrix transforming the probability vectors of the first tuple into the probability vectors of the other. This is called matrix majorization. Solving an open problem raised by Muet al, we show that if certain monotones—namely multivariate extensions of Rényi divergences—are strictly ordered between the two tuples, then for sufficiently largen, there exists a stochastic matrix taking then-fold Kronecker power of each input distribution to then-fold Kronecker power of the corresponding output distribution. The same conditions, with non-strict ordering for the monotones, are also necessary for such matrix majorization in large samples. Our result also gives conditions for the existence of a sequence of statistical maps that asymptotically (with vanishing error) convert a single copy of each input distribution to the corresponding output distribution with the help of a catalyst that is returned unchanged. Allowing for transformation with arbitrarily small error, we find conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for such catalytic matrix majorization. We derive our results by building on a general algebraic theory of preordered semirings recently developed by one of the authors. This also allows us to recover various existing results on majorization in large samples and in the catalytic regime as well as relative majorization in a unified manner.
