Exercise

The telephone companies ${}A,B$ and ${}C$ compete for a market, where the market customers in a year ${}j$ are given by the customers-tuple ${}K_{j}=(a_{j},b_{j},c_{j})$ (where ${}a_{j}$ is the number of customers of ${}A$ in the year ${}j$ etc.). There are customers passing from one provider to another one during a year.

1. The customers of ${}A$ remain for ${}80\%$ with ${}A$, while ${}10\%$ of them goes to ${}B$, and the same percentage goes to ${}C$.
2. The customers of ${}B$ remain for ${}70\%$ with ${}B$, while ${}10\%$ of them goes to ${}A$, and ${}20\%$ goes to ${}C$.
3. The customers of ${}C$ remain for ${}50\%$ with ${}C$, while ${}20\%$ of them goes to ${}A$, and ${}30\%$ goes to ${}B$.

a) Determine the linear map (i.e. the matrix) that expresses the customers-tuple ${}K_{j+1}$ with respect to ${}K_{j}$.

b) Which customers-tuple arises from the customers-tuple ${}(12000,10000,8000)$ within one year?

c) Which customers-tuple arises from the customers-tuple ${}(10000,0,0)$ in four years?

Exercise

The newspapers ${}A,B$ and ${}C$ sell subscriptions, and they compete in a local market with ${}100000$ customers. Within a year, one can observe the following movements.

1. The subscribers of ${}A$ stick with a percentage of ${}80\%$ to ${}A$, ${}10\%$ switch to ${}B$, ${}5\%$ switch to ${}C$ and ${}5\%$ become nonreaders.
2. The subscribers of ${}B$ stick with a percentage of ${}60\%$ to ${}B$, ${}10\%$ switch to ${}A$, ${}20\%$ switch to ${}C$ and ${}10\%$ become nonreaders.
3. The subscribers of ${}C$ stick with a percentage of ${}70\%$ to ${}C$, nobody switches to ${}A$, ${}10\%$ switch to ${}B$ and ${}20\%$ become nonreaders.
4. Among the nonreaders, ${}10\%$ subscribe to ${}A,B$ or ${}C$, the rest remains nonreaders.

a) Establish the matrix that describes the movement of customers within a year.

b) In a certain year, each of the three newspapers has ${}20000$ subscribers and there are ${}40000$ nonreaders. How does the distribution look like after a year?

c) The three newspapers expand to another city, where there are no newspapers at all so far, but also ${}100000$ potential customers. How many subscribers does each newspaper have (and how many nonreaders) after three years, if the same movements hold in the new city?

Exercise (6 (3+1+2) marks)

An animal population consists of babies (first year), freshers (second year), rockers (third year), mature ones (fourth year), and veterans (fifth year), these animals can not become older. The total stock of these animals in a given year ${}j$ is given by a ${}5$-tuple ${}B_{j}=(b_{1,j},b_{2,j},b_{3,j},b_{4,j},b_{5,j})$.
