RE: Rise of the Feral Pigeons: Introduction to Leslie Matrices
I never heard about Leslie matrices. Nice post.
I just realized that the growth is determined by the maximal eigenvalue since you can write L=X J X^-1 where J is the Jordan normal form. Then L^n=X J^n X^-1 so
where lambda max is the maximal eigenvalue and C is a positive constant. So you only need to compute the maximal eigenvalue to find out what happens to the pigeons.
You stole my thunder haha! That's going to be the topic of my next post!
