Abstract
Lopez’ proof of his ergodicity theorem is omitted. Its application is limited to matrices that are irreducible and primitive, whose meanings we discuss in the introduction to Parlett (1970, paper 29 below).
From Problems in Stable Population Theory, pp. 4–5, 66–68. Princeton: Office of Population Research.
