Constructing a harmonic function for an irreducible nonnegative matrix with convergence parameter \(R>1\) (Q2893270)

If \(J\) is a substochastic Toeplitz transition kernel corresponding to a random walk canceled on the negative integers with a positive probability of escaping to infinity, then any nonnegative irreducible matrix \(Q\), of convergence radius \(R> 1\), enjoys the following property of \(J\), when \(Q\) and \(J\) are close, \(J\) has a nonnegative harmonic function \(V(i)\), \(i\in N\), that converges to a constant as \(i\to\infty\).
