This book is a photographic reproduction of the book of the same
title published in 1981, for which there has been continuing demand
on account of its accessible technical level. Its appearance also
helped generate considerable subsequent work on inhomogeneous
products of matrices. This printing adds an additional bibliography
on coefficients of ergodicity and a list of corrigenda.
Eugene Seneta received his Ph.D. in 1968 from the Australian
National University. He left Canberra in 1979 to become Professor
and Head of the Department of Mathematical Statistics at the
University of Sydney. He has been a regular visitor to the United
States, most frequently to the University of Virginia. Now Emeritus
Professor at the University of Sydney, he has recently developed a
renewed interest in financial mathematics. He was elected Fellow of
the Australian Academy of Science in 1985 and awarded the Pitman
Medal of the Statistical Society of Australia for his distinguished
research contributions.
The first edition of this book, entitled Non-Negative Matrices,
appeared in 1973, and was followed in 1976 by his Regularly Varying
Functions in the Springer Lecture Notes in Mathematics, later
translated into Russian. Both books were pioneering in their
fields. In 1977, Eugene Seneta coauthored (with C. C. Heyde ) I.J.
BienaymA(c): Statistical Theory Anticipated, which is effectively a
history of probability and statistics in the 19th century, and in
2001 co-edited with the same colleague Statisticians of the
Centuries, both published by Springer. Having served on the
editorial board of the Encyclopedia of Statistical Science, he is
currently Joint Editor of the International Statistical Review.
