Abstract

Given two nonincreasing integral vectors R and S, with the same sum, we denote by \(\mathcal {A}(R,S)\) the class of all (0,1)-matrices with row sum vector R, and column sum vector S. The Bruhat order and the Secondary Bruhat order on \(\mathcal {A}(R,S)\) are both extensions of the classical Bruhat order on Sn, the symmetric group of degree n. These two partial orders on \(\mathcal {A}(R,S)\) are, in general, different. In this paper we prove that if R = (2,2,…,2) or R = (1,1,…,1), then the Bruhat order and the Secondary Bruhat order on \(\mathcal {A}(R,S)\) coincide.
