In this paper it is proved that, for real n ‐vectors x and y, x is majorized by y if and only if x = PHQ y for some permutation matrices P, Q , and for some doubly stochastic matrix H which is a direct sum of doubly stochastic Hessenberg matrices. This result reveals that any n ‐vector which is majorized by a vector y can be expressed as a convex combination of at most ( n 2 − n + 2)/2 permutations of y.
