Galton–Watson and branching process representations of the normalized Perron–Frobenius eigenvector
ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Tome 23 (2019), pp. 797-802.

Let A be a primitive matrix and let λ be its Perron–Frobenius eigenvalue. We give formulas expressing the associated normalized Perron–Frobenius eigenvector as a simple functional of a multitype Galton–Watson process whose mean matrix is A, as well as of a multitype branching process with mean matrix e$$. These formulas are generalizations of the classical formula for the invariant probability measure of a Markov chain.
