We consider the infinite sequences $(A\_n)\_{n\in\NN}$ of $2\times2$ matrices with nonnegative entries, where the $A\_n$ are taken in a finite set of matrices. Given a vector $V=\pmatrix{v\_1\cr v\_2}$ with $v\_1,v\_2>0$, we give a…

If a left-product $M_n... M_1$ of square complex matrices converges to a nonnull limit when $n\to\infty$ and if the $M_n$ belong to a finite set, it is clear that there exists an integer $n_0$ such that the $M_n$, $n\ge n_0$, have a common…

We study the almost sure convergence of the normalized columns in an infinite product of nonnegative matrices, and the almost sure rank one property of its limit points. Given a probability on the set of $2\times2$ nonnegative matrices,…

We consider the problem of convergence to zero of matrix products $A_{n}B_{n}\cdots A_{1}B_{1}$ with factors from two sets of matrices, $A_{i}\in\mathscr{A}$ and $B_{i}\in\mathscr{B}$, due to a suitable choice of matrices $\{B_{i}\}$. It is…

Let $P_n$ be the $n$-step right product $A_1\cdots A_n$, where $A_1,A_2,\dots$ is a given infinite sequence of $d\times d$ matrices with nonnegative entries. In a wide range of situations, the normalized matrix product $P_n/{\Vert…

We study the time complexity of computing the $(\min,+)$ matrix product of two $n\times n$ integer matrices in terms of $n$ and the number of monotone subsequences the rows of the first matrix and the columns of the second matrix can be…

The aim of this manuscript is to understand the dynamics of products of nonnegative matrices. We extend a well known consequence of the Perron-Frobenius theorem on the periodic points of a nonnegative matrix to products of finitely many…

Let ${\bf a}=(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n)$ and ${\bf e}=(e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_n)$ be real sequences. Denote by $M_{{\bf e}\rightarrow {\bf a}}$ the $(n+1)\times(n+1)$ matrix whose $(m,k)$ entry ($m, k \in \{0,\ldots, n\}$) is the coefficient of…

Let $V$ be a vector space with countable dimension over a field, and let $u$ be an endomorphism of it which is locally finite, i.e. $(u^k(x))_{k \geq 0}$ is linearly dependent for all $x$ in $V$. We give several necessary and sufficient…

We formulate conjectures regarding the maximum value and maximizing matrices of the permanent and of diagonal products on the set of stochastic matrices with bounded rank. We formulate equivalent conjectures on upper bounds for these…

Power nonnegative matrices are defined as complex matrices having at least one nonnegative integer power. We exploit the possibility of deriving a Perron Frobenius-like theory for these matrices, obtaining three main results and drawing…

We prove that if $\mathbb{F}$ is a field of positive odd characteristic $p,$ and $m,$ and $n$ are positive integers such that $m\geq2,$ and $n\leq p,$ every $n\times n$ nonderogatory matrix $A\in \mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ which is sum of…

In this note, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix A in M to be finitely G-determined, where M is the ring of 2 x 2 matrices whose entries are formal power series over an infinite field, and G is a group acting on M by…

Let $v_1$,..., $v_n$ be $n$ vectors in an inner product space. Can we find a natural number $d$ and positive (semidefinite) complex matrices $A_1$,..., $A_n$ of size $d \times d$ such that ${\rm Tr}(A_kA_l)= <v_k, v_l>$ for all $k,l=1,...,…

A set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal{M}=\{M_1, M_2, \ldots, M_k\}$ is called primitive if there exist indices $i_1, i_2, \ldots, i_m$ such that $M_{i_1} M_{i_2} \ldots M_{i_m}$ is positive (i.e. has all its entries $>0$). The length of…

We consider the following variant of the Mortality Problem: given $k\times k$ matrices $A_1, A_2, \dots,A_{t}$, does there exist nonnegative integers $m_1, m_2, \dots,m_t$ such that the product $A_1^{m_1} A_2^{m_2} \cdots A_{t}^{m_{t}}$ is…

This paper explicitly details the relation between $M$-matrices, nonnegative roots of nonnegative matrices, and the embedding problem for finite-state stationary Markov chains. The set of nonsingular nonnegative matrices with arbitrary…

This paper investigates the uniqueness of a nonnegative vector solution and the uniqueness of a positive semidefinite matrix solution to underdetermined linear systems. A vector solution is the unique solution to an underdetermined linear…

To prove that a measure, linearly representable by means of a finite set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal M$, has the weak-Gibbs property, one check the uniform convergence (on $\mathcal M^\mathbb N$) of the sequence of vectors…

A natural definition of the product of infinite matrices mimics the usual formulation of multiplication of finite matrices with the caveat (in the absence of any sense of convergence) that the intersection of the support of each row of the…
