Cesaro Limits of Analytically Perturbed Stochastic Matrices

Let P(ε) = P0 + A(ε) be a stochasticity preserving analytic perturbation of a stochastic matrix P0. We characterize the hybrid Cesaro limit lim 1 N(ε) Pk(ε), ε↓0 N(ε) ∑ where N(ε) ↑ ∞ as ε ↓ 0, when P0 has eigenvalues on the unit circle in the complex plane other than 1.
