The trivial answer would be M=I, the identity matrix and v is any vector, but that would be too easy, and therefore rejected as a solution.
If v = Mv, then M has 1 as an eigenvalue and v is the ...
Solution Summary
Given a 3x3 matrix M whose individual rows add up to 1, a 3x1 vector v (not all zero) such that v=Mv is found. Please note that the solution is not the identity vector. The solution is detailed and well presented.
