equivalence of two conditions on non-negative square matrix












3












$begingroup$


Let $A$ be a nonnegative square matrix (every entry is non-negative, $Age 0$). Look at these two conditions:



(1) $A^nto0$ as $ntoinfty$



(2) $(I-A)^{-1}ge 0$



I can show that (1) implies (2). In this case, the inverse is $I+A+A^2+dots$.



My question is



"Is the converse true? i.e. does (2) imply (1) as well?"

    When you say "non-negative" square matrix, do you mean that all entries are non-negative, that the matrix is positive semi-definite, or something else?

    I think he meant the determinant is not negative. Not sure.

Yes. Let $x$ be the Perron vector of $A$. Then $0le(I-A)^{-1}x=(1-rho(A))^{-1}x$. Hence $(1-rho(A))^{-1}>0$ and $rho(A)<1$. In turn, $A^nto0$ as $ntoinfty$.
