Triangulated Laman graphs, local stochastic matrices, and limits of their products

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We derive conditions on the products of stochastic matrices guaranteeing the existence of a unique limit invariant distribution. Belying our approach is the hereby defined notion of restricted triangulated Laman graphs. The main idea is the following: to each triangle in the graph, we assign a stochastic matrix. Two matrices can be adjacent in a product only if their corresponding triangles share an edge in the graph. We provide an explicit formula for the limit invariant distribution of the product in terms of the individual stochastic matrices.
