“…By Perron–Frobenius theorem, there exists a positive principal eigenvector ω =( ω 1 , ω 2 ,⋯, ω m ) such that ω k >0 for k =1,2,⋯, m and ω · ρ ( M 0 )= ω · M 0 . Consider the following Lyapunov function: Applying Lemma 4.1 in and (H1) , we obtain Note that for all I >0. Then, the difference of L n is …”
