# Bounded indecomposable semigroups of non-negative matrices

Bounded indecomposable semigroups of non-negative matrices A semigroup $${\mathfrak{S}}$$ of non-negative n × n matrices is indecomposable if for every pair i, j ≤ n there exists $${S\in\mathfrak{S}}$$ such that (S) ij ≠ 0. We show that if there is a pair k, l such that $${\{(S)_{kl} : S\in\mathfrak{S}\}}$$ is bounded then, after a simultaneous diagonal similarity, all the entries are in [0, 1]. We also provide quantitative versions of this result, as well as extensions to infinite-dimensional cases. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Positivity Springer Journals
