Iterated partial summations applied to finite-support discrete distributions

Probability 2019-01-28 v1

Abstract

The problem of iterated partial summations is solved for some discrete distributions defined on discrete supports. The power method, usually used as a computational approach to finding matrix eigenvalues and eigenvectors, is in some cases an effective tool to prove the existence of the limit distribution, which is then expressed as a solution of a system of linear equations. Some examples are presented.
