Abstract
Given a matrix of distribution functions and a quasi-stochastic matrix, i.e. an irreducible nonnegative matrix with maximal eigenvalue one and associated unique positive left and right eigenvectors, the article studies the properties of an associated matrix renewal measure and a related integral equation. Unlike earlier work this is done by a purely probabilistic approach based on a simple harmonic transform. Main results include Markov renewal-type theorems and a Stone-type decomposition under an absolute continuity condition. Three applications are given at the end of the paper.
