Matrix Properties and Examples

The document outlines a series of mathematical problems involving 3x3 matrices, including finding pairs of reducible matrices with specific properties related to their products. It also discusses the implications of the index of imprimitivity for a nonnegative irreducible matrix and provides a structure for constructing an irreducible matrix from a block matrix. Additionally, it includes a task to compute the eigenvalues of a specific block matrix configuration.

1.

Find pairs of reducible 3 × 3 matrices A and B satisfying the following


conditions:

(a) AB is positive.
(b) AB is primitive but not positive.
(c) AB is irreducible but not primitive.

2. Suppose that the index of imprimitivity of a 5 × 5 nonnegative irre-


ducible matrix A is h = 3. Explain why A must be singular with
algebraic multiplicity of 0 equal to 2. Give an example of such a ma-
trix.

3. Let A1 be a positive n × n matrix, and let A be a block matrix:


 
A1 0
A= .
0 A1

Find an irreducible matrix whose square is equal to A.

4. Compute the eigenvalues of


 
0 B 0 0
0 0 B 0
A= 0
,
0 0 B
C 0 0 0
   
0 1 6 13
where B = and C = .
