Abstract

We present a class of "nice" $n\times n$ Markov probability transition matrices and infinitesimal generators whose limiting (steady state) probabilities are proportional to the first $n$ Fibonacci numbers. We extend this model to other sequences and discover some curious matrix and sequence relationships.
