Abstract:
In this paper we study the sequential limiting set $L$ of the sequence ${R_1}, \ldots ,{R_k} = \{ x{A_1} \ldots {A_k}|x$ is a stochastic vector, and ${A_i}$ a stochastic matrix with $P \leqslant {A_i} \leqslant Q$, for nonnegative matrices $P$ and $Q\} , \ldots$. We characterize $L$ and provide some work on approximating $L$.References
