A dynamic interurban of people shows the following Markov Transition Matrix of residents to urban, suburban and rural areas:

__________Urban___Suburban____Rural
Urban ... a...b...y
suburban... o.....q.....z
Rural ... 1-a-o ...1-b-q ... 1-y-z

A = 0.9
O = 0.05
B = 0.1
Q = 0.7
Y = 0.1
Z = 0.1

Solve the problem knowing that the vector answer today is
Uo ... 10
(SUo) = (... 40)
Ro ... 50


What vector response to t = 2 vector and what is the answer in the long run. Remember that
Ut
(SUt) = Aλ1 ^ tX1 + Bλ2 ^ tX2 + Cλ3 ^ tX3
Rt

any bibliography suggestion?

[q1 q2 q3] x [ 0,1 -0,05 -0,05] = [ 0 0 0 ]
......-0,7..1...-0,3
......-0,8..0...0,8

0,1q1 - 0,7q2 -0,8q3 =0
-0,5q1 +q2 = 0
-0,5q1 -0,3q2+0,8q3=0

q1+q2+q3=1

q1=?
q2=?
q3=?
Cramer doesn't work!
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
