$A^tto 0$ when its row sum is strictly less than one?












0












$begingroup$


$A_{ntimes n}$ is a matrix having each row sum $<1$ and its largest eigenvalue is also $<1$. I need to show $A^tto 0,text{ i.e } a^t_{ij}to 0forall i,jtext{ as } ttoinfty$ given that $0<a_{ij}<1$.



Well, suppose $0<lambda<1$ be the largest eigenvalue of $A$ then $A^tx=lambda^txto 0text{ as } ttoinftyRightarrow A^tto0because xne0$, is my argument works? Well $lambda$ may be negative? Thanks.

          The maximum absolute row sum of a matrix is a matrix norm, the $infty$-norm.



          Therefore, if $|A|_{infty}<1$, then $A^n to 0$ since $|A^n|_{infty} le |A|_{infty}^nto 0$.



          This argument uses the hypothesis that $a_{ij}>0$ but not the hypothesis on the largest eigenvalue.
