Primes in several classes of the positive matrices

The classification of primes in the semi-ring of the positive matrices is of interest to control and system theory. A few examples of primes in the positive matrices are known. In this paper results on the classification of primes in the positive matrices, in the doubly stochastic matrices, and in the doubly stochastic circulants are presented.
