Question
For the Leslie matrix show that det(A -AI) = gives FIA 2 + F2P1A + F3Pl P2 = A 3 . The right side A 3 is larger as A ----+ 00. The left side is larger at A = 1 if Fl + F2 PI + F3 PI P2 > 1. In that case the two sides are equal at an eigenvalue Amax > 1: growth.
Solution
The first step in solving 8.3 problem number 18 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: For the Leslie matrix show that det(A -AI) = gives FIA 2 + F2P1A + F3Pl P2 = A 3 . The right side A 3 is larger as A ----+ 00. The left side is larger at A = 1 if Fl + F2 PI + F3 PI P2 > 1. In that case the two sides are equal at an eigenvalue Amax > 1: growth.
From the textbook chapter Markov Matrices, Population, and Economics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
