Existence of $lim_{n rightarrow infty}A^n$












0












$begingroup$


I was studying Markov chain and in it, it is useful to have a transition matrix $M$ that $lim_{n rightarrow infty}M^n$ exist.



So I thought about the existence of $lim_{n rightarrow infty}A^n$ in general($A$ is a square matrix). and it was easy to prove:




for every diagonalizable matrix $A= QDQ^{-1}$, the $lim_{n rightarrow infty}A^n$ exists if and only if elements of $D$ be in the range $(-1,1]$.




but what about not diagonalizable matrices? what is the condition for them?



EXAMPLES:
$E_1$ is not diagonalizable and $lim_{n rightarrow infty}E_1^n$ exists, $E_2$ is not diagonalizable and $lim_{n rightarrow infty}E_2^n$ does not exists.
$$ E_1 = begin{bmatrix}0.1 & 0.1 \0 & 0.1 end{bmatrix}, E_2 = begin{bmatrix}1 & 1 \0 & 1 end{bmatrix}$$

          You can basically do the same thing with the Jordan normal form. You need all eigenvalues to be either in the interior of the unit disk or $1$. Additionally, if $1$ is an eigenvalue, it cannot be defective (defective eigenvalues of $1$ lead to polynomial growth).
