“…In References [14,15], the construction of Leslie stochastic matrices are considered; in the first, the construction of Leslie and doubly Leslie stochastic matrices with zero traces from the coefficients of their characteristic polynomial, and in the second, the construction of Leslie stochastic matrices from a list of nonzero complex numbers, which is a subset of its spectrum. Reference [16] presents the construction of Leslie and doubly Leslie matrices, and companion and doubly companion matrices from particular spectral data. These constructions are independent.…”
