A NEW STATEMENT ABOUT THE THEOREM DETERMINING THE REGION OF EIGENVALUES OF STOCHASTIC MATRICES

摘要

Let M-n denote the set of points in the complex plane that are eigenvalues of n-dimensional stochastic matrices. The set M-n is completely determined by the Karpelevich theorem, the statement of which, however, is lengthy and intricate. The paper shortens the presentation of the theorem.
