Overview
Infinite products of matrices are used in nonhomogeneous Markov chains, Markov set-chains, demographics, probabilistic automata, production and manpower systems, tomography, and fractals. More recent results have been obtained in computer design of curves and surfaces.This book puts together much of the basic work on infinite products of matrices, providing a primary source for such work. This will eliminate the rediscovery of known results in the area, and thus save considerable time for researchers who work with infinite products of matrices. In addition, two chapters are included to show how infinite products of matrices are used in graphics and in systems work.
Editorials
From The Critics
This book presents basic work on nonhomogeneous matrix products, beginning with basic functionals used to study convergence of infinite products of matrices, then covering semigroups of matrices, ergodicity, convergence, paracontracting, set convergence, perturbations in matrix sets, graphics, slowly varying products, and systems. It will be of interest to those working in fields such as nonhomogeneous Markov chains, demographics, probabilistic automata, tomography, and manpower systems. Hartfiel is on the faculty at Texas A&M University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
