Bounded indecomposable semigroups of non-negative matrices

From MaRDI portal





Given a semigroup \({\mathfrak{S}}\) of non-negative \(n\times n\) indecomposable matrices (i.e. for every pair \(i,j \leqslant n\) there exists \({S\in\mathfrak{S}}\) such that \(S_{ij}\neq 0\)), in this paper it is mainly shown that if there exists a pair \(k,l\) such that \({\{(S)_{kl} : S\in\mathfrak{S}\}}\) is bounded, then, after a simultaneous diagonal similarity, all the entries are in \([0,1]\). Further, quantitative versions of this result as well as extensions to infinite-dimensional cases are provided, and finally, the continuous case (convolution semigroup) is examined.
