Abstract

Products of independent identically distributed random stochastic 2 × 2 matrices are known to converge in distribution under a trivial condition. Rates for this convergence are estimated in terms of the minimal Lp-metrics and the Kolmogoroff metric and applications to convergence rates of related interval splitting procedures are discussed.
