Perron's Eigenvector for Matrices in Distribution Problems

In this paper we consider convex combinations of matrices that arise in the study of distribution problems and analyse the properties of Perron's eigenvalue, and its associated positive eigenvector. We prove that the components in the (normalized) associated positive eigenvector have a monotone behaviour in the unit interval [0;1]: Moreover, we prove that the eigenvalue maximizes at the middle point of the interval. Additional properties are provided.
