(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the sequence of Leslie matrices where , and . (a) Choose a value for n (say, ). For various values of a, b, and p, use a computer to determine the dominant eigenvalue of , and then compare your results to the value of . (b) Show that which means that the eigenvalues of must satisfy (c) Can you now provide a rough proof to explain the fact that
