Dynamics of linear maps of idempotent measures

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We describe all linear operators which maps n−1-dimensional simplex of idempotent measures to itself. Such operators divided to two classes: the first class contains all nimesn-matrices with non-negative entries which has at least one zero-row; the second class contains all nimesn-matrices with non-negative entries which in each row and in each column has exactly one non-zero entry. These matrices play a role of the stochastic matrices in case of idempotent measures. For both classes of linear maps we find fixed points. We also study the dynamical systems generated by the linear maps of the set of idempotent measures.


The dynamical properties of the action of two classes of \(n\times n\) non-negative matrices on the simplex of idempotent measures on a set of \(n\) points is studied. The first comprises matrices with at least one zero row; the second comprises all matrices with exactly one positive entry in each row and each column. Fixed points for the action are found, and the dynamical systems generated by linear maps on the space of idempotent measures are studied.
