Download or read book Non negative Matrices and Markov Chains written by E. Seneta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-07-02 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception by Perron and Frobenius, the theory of non-negative matrices has developed enormously and is now being used and extended in applied fields of study as diverse as probability theory, numerical analysis, demography, mathematical economics, and dynamic programming, while its development is still proceeding rapidly as a branch of pure mathematics in its own right. While there are books which cover this or that aspect of the theory, it is nevertheless not uncommon for workers in one or another branch of its development to be unaware of what is known in other branches, even though there is often formal overlap. One of the purposes of this book is to relate several aspects of the theory, insofar as this is possible. The author hopes that the book will be useful to mathematicians; but in particular to the workers in applied fields, so the mathematics has been kept as simple as could be managed. The mathematical requisites for reading it are: some knowledge of real-variable theory, and matrix theory; and a little knowledge of complex-variable; the emphasis is on real-variable methods. (There is only one part of the book, the second part of 55.5, which is of rather specialist interest, and requires deeper knowledge.) Appendices provide brief expositions of those areas of mathematics needed which may be less g- erally known to the average reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonnegative Matrices in the Mathematical Sciences provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of the theory of nonnegative matrices. This book describes selected applications of the theory to numerical analysis, probability, economics, and operations research. Organized into 10 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the properties of nonnegative matrices. This text then examines the inverse-positive matrices. Other chapters consider the basic approaches to the study of nonnegative matrices, namely, geometrical and combinatorial. This book discusses as well some useful ideas from the algebraic theory of semigroups and considers a canonical form for nonnegative idempotent matrices and special types of idempotent matrices. The final chapter deals with the linear complementary problem (LCP). This book is a valuable resource for mathematical economists, mathematical programmers, statisticians, mathematicians, and computer scientists.
Download or read book Nonnegative Matrices and Applicable Topics in Linear Algebra written by Alexander Graham and published by Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonnegative matrices is an increasingly important subject in economics, control theory, numerical analysis, Markov chains, and other areas. This concise treatment is directed toward undergraduates who lack specialized knowledge at the postgraduate level of mathematics and related fields, such as mathematical economics and operations research. An Introductory Survey encompasses some aspects of matrix theory and its applications and other relevant topics in linear algebra, including certain facets of graph theory. Subsequent chapters cover various points of the theory of normal matrices, comprising unitary and Hermitian matrices, and the properties of positive definite matrices. An exploration of the main topic, nonnegative matrices, is followed by a discussion of M-matrices. The final chapter examines stochastic, genetic, and economic models. The important concepts are illustrated by simple worked examples. Problems appear at the conclusion of most chapters, with solutions at the end of the book.

Download or read book Nonnegative Matrices Positive Operators and Applications written by Jiu Ding and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2009-08-24 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonnegative matrices and positive operators are widely applied in science, engineering, and technology. This book provides the basic theory and several typical modern science and engineering applications of nonnegative matrices and positive operators, including the fundamental theory, methods, numerical analysis, and applications in the Google search engine, computational molecular dynamics, and wireless communications. Unique features of this book include the combination of the theories of nonnegative matrices and positive operators as well as the emphasis on applications of nonnegative matrices in the numerical analysis of positive operators, such as Markov operators and Frobenius–Perron operators both of which play key roles in the statistical and stochastic studies of dynamical systems. It can be used as a textbook for an upper level undergraduate or beginning graduate course in advanced matrix theory and/or positive operators as well as for an advanced topics course in operator theory or ergodic theory. In addition, it serves as a good reference for researchers in mathematical sciences, physical sciences, and engineering.
Download or read book Markov Set Chains written by Darald J. Hartfiel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study extending classical Markov chain theory to handle fluctuating transition matrices, the author develops a theory of Markov set-chains and provides numerous examples showing how that theory can be applied. Chapters are concluded with a discussion of related research. Readers who can benefit from this monograph are those interested in, or involved with, systems whose data is imprecise or that fluctuate with time. A background equivalent to a course in linear algebra and one in probability theory should be sufficient.

Download or read book Markov Chains written by J. R. Norris and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markov chains are central to the understanding of random processes. This is not only because they pervade the applications of random processes, but also because one can calculate explicitly many quantities of interest. This textbook, aimed at advanced undergraduate or MSc students with some background in basic probability theory, focuses on Markov chains and quickly develops a coherent and rigorous theory whilst showing also how actually to apply it. Both discrete-time and continuous-time chains are studied. A distinguishing feature is an introduction to more advanced topics such as martingales and potentials in the established context of Markov chains. There are applications to simulation, economics, optimal control, genetics, queues and many other topics, and exercises and examples drawn both from theory and practice. It will therefore be an ideal text either for elementary courses on random processes or those that are more oriented towards applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Homogeneous Markov Chains and Systems: Theory and Applications fulfills two principal goals. It is devoted to the study of non-homogeneous Markov chains in the first part, and to the evolution of the theory and applications of non-homogeneous Markov systems (populations) in the second. The book is self-contained, requiring a moderate background in basic probability theory and linear algebra, common to most undergraduate programs in mathematics, statistics, and applied probability. There are some advanced parts, which need measure theory and other advanced mathematics, but the readers are alerted to these so they may focus on the basic results. Features A broad and accessible overview of non-homogeneous Markov chains and systems Fills a significant gap in the current literature A good balance of theory and applications, with advanced mathematical details separated from the main results Many illustrative examples of potential applications from a variety of fields Suitable for use as a course text for postgraduate students of applied probability, or for self-study Potential applications included could lead to other quantitative areas The book is primarily aimed at postgraduate students, researchers, and practitioners in applied probability and statistics, and the presentation has been planned and structured in a way to provide flexibility in topic selection so that the text can be adapted to meet the demands of different course outlines. The text could be used to teach a course to students studying applied probability at a postgraduate level or for self-study. It includes many illustrative examples of potential applications, in order to be useful to researchers from a variety of fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an integrated treatment of the theory of nonnegative matrices (matrices with only positive numbers or zero as entries) and some related classes of positive matrices, concentrating on connections with game theory, combinatorics, inequalities, optimisation and mathematical economics. The wide variety of applications, which include price fixing, scheduling and the fair division problem, have been carefully chosen both for their elegant mathematical content and for their accessibility to students with minimal preparation. Many results in matrix theory are also presented. The treatment is rigorous and almost all results are proved completely. These results and applications will be of great interest to researchers in linear programming, statistics and operations research. The minimal prerequisites also make the book accessible to first-year graduate students.
