Question:

  1. If Ais any 3x3 transition matrix (see Definition 2.1.4), find the matrix product [111]A .
  2. For a fixed n , let e→ be the row vector e→=[1,1,..,1]n1's . Show that an nxn matrix A with nonnegative entries is a transition matrixif (and only if)e→A=e→ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer:

  1. Hence, the matrix product is:111.
  2. Hence, A is a transition matrix.

Step by step solution

01

Transition matrix

For any transition matrix, the sum of the entries of the columns is equal to 1 .

02

Find the matrix(a)

Let there be any 3x3 transition matrix as A=a11a12a13a21a22a23a31a32a33.

Then,

111A=111a11a12a13a21a22a23a31a32a33=a11+a21+a31a12+a22+a32a13+a23+a33=111

Hence, the matrix product is: 111.

03

Find the matrix(b)

The given row vector ise→=1,1,..,1n1's .

Let there A be any nxn matrix A with non-zero elements. Then, we have:

e→A=∑ai1,i=1n∑ai2,i=1n⋯∑aim,i=1n

Let, A be the transition matrix. Then, sum of its columns will be 1.

So,

e→A=∑ai1,i=1n∑ai2,i=1n⋯∑aim,i=1n=1,1,...1=e→

Again, there be any nxn matrix A with non-zero elements. Then, we have:

e→A=∑ai1,i=1n∑ai2,i=1n⋯∑aim,i=1n

Let us assume, e→A=e→. Then, sum of its columns will be 1.

So,

∑ai1,i=1n∑ai2,i=1n⋯∑ain,i=1n=e→A=e→=1,1,....1

Hence, A is a transition matrix.
