Partial Convergence and Sign Convergence of Matrix Powers via Eigen c--ads

Frank Uhlig

This paper investigates the convergence over the reals and in the 
sign +,  -, 0 sense of individual elements of matrix powers of A (A to
the power k, as k tends to infinity) in dependence on the eigenvalues and 
left and right (generalized) eigenvector structure of a given n by n matrix 
A theoretically and computationally.
