Abstract
In this paper we examine the conditions under which discrete-time homogenous Markov transition matrices have probability roots. A method based on geometric interpretation of 2x2 Markov matrices is used to find regions within the unit square corresponding to probability matrices with zero, single or multiple probability roots.
