By combining the results of sub-parts II.B and II.C, justify that we have proved Proposition 1: If $A \in \mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{R})$ is a strictly positive matrix, then $\rho(A)$ is a dominant eigenvalue of $A$. The associated eigenspace $\ker\left(A - \rho(A) I_n\right)$ is one-dimensional and is spanned by a strictly positive eigenvector.
