(a) Let A be a nonnegative irreducible matrix such that rz ≤ Az, for some 0 ‡ z ≥ 0, where r = p(A). Then show that rz = Az and z>0. (b) Let A be a nonnegative matrix with the property that each row sum is at most 1. Suppose further that at least one row sum is less than 1. Such a matrix is called a substochastic matrix. Using item (a), show that if A is an irreducible substochastic matrix, then p(A) < 1.
