Abstract

A square non-negative matrix is called primitive if all the elements of some power of this matrix are positive. The exponent of a primitive matrix is the minimum power satisfying this condition. The exponent of a class of primitive matrices is the minimum power such that all the matrices of the class to this power have positive elements only. In this paper, bounds for the exponents of primitive matrices and classes of matrices are obtained.
