Pointwise Stabilization of Discrete-time Stationary Matrix-valued Markovian Chains

Abstract: We study the pointwise stabilizability of a discrete-time, time-homogeneous, and stationary Markovian jump linear system. By using measure theory, ergodic theory and a splitting theorem of state space we show in a relatively simple way that if the system is essentially product-bounded, then it is pointwise convergent if and only if it is pointwise exponentially convergent.
