Title
Matrix representation of discrete quasi-copulas
Abstract
In this paper discrete quasi-copulas (defined on a square grid I"n^2 of [0,1]^2) are studied and it is proved that they can be represented by means of a special class of matrices with entries in [-1,1]. Special considerations are made for the case of irreducible discrete quasi-copulas (those with range I"n), showing that they can be represented through alternating-sign matrices and that they generate all discrete quasi-copulas through convex sums. In the process, the number of irreducible quasi-copulas on I"n is given and those functions @d for which there exists a unique copula with @d as its diagonal section are characterized.
