Jul 25, 2010 at 13:17 comment added Steve Huntsman The grumpy old man in me can't resist: an order of magnitude more people surely learn about Markov processes than coherent sheaves or motivic homotopy theory or whatever "most" mathematicians supposedly study at any level.
Jul 25, 2010 at 6:14 comment added Victor Protsak I join David Speyer in voting against closing. Note that Pietro's answer addresses a stronger condition, namely, that the matrix exponent of any positive multiple of $A$ is stochastic.

Jul 25, 2010 at 4:36 comment added Pietro Majer More generic than "Analogy question" is "Question". Or also "This question" if one wants to be somehow more precise.

Jul 25, 2010 at 2:13 comment added David E Speyer I disagree with the suggestion that this question be closed. It's a basic question, with a simple answer, but if you don't know the field it's not obvious where to look this up and the subject is hardly one which most mathematicians cover in grad school. As per this discussion, tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/506/… , consider me a vote against closing.
