Iterated partial summations applied to finite-support discrete distributions.

The problem of iterated partial summations is solved for some discrete distributions defined on finite supports. The power method, usually used as a computational approach to the problem of finding matrix eigenvalues and eigenvectors, is in some cases an effective tool to prove the existence of the limit distribution, which is then expressed as a solution of a system of linear equations. Some examples are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
