Such matric es represent the tr ansition probabilities in a Markov process.

Repeated powers of the matrix represent repeated steps of the process. For

our example, the fifth power

P^5

0.2507 0.2495 0.2494 0.2504

0.2497 0.2501 0.2502 0.2500

0.2500 0.2498 0.2499 0.2503

0.2496 0.2506 0.2505 0.2493

This shows that as approaches infinity, all the elements in the th power,

, approach .

Finally, the c oefficients in the characteristic polynomial

poly(A)

are

1 -34 -64 2176 0

This indicates that the characteristic polynomial

The constant term is zero, because the matrix is singular, and the coefficient

of the cubic term is -34, because the matrix is magic!
