Abstract
I now consider what happens when the fixed matrix b of (2.1.2) is replaced by a deterministically varying sequence of matrices. This is a long-standing problem with Norton (1928), Coale (1957), and Lopez (1961) being the classical contributions. Golubitsky et al. (1977), Hajnal (1976), Kim and Sykes (1976), Seneta (1981), Cohen (1979b), Tuljapurkar (1984) and Kim (1987) are more recent explorations. This work is a prerequisite to the study of random rates. I first consider general variation, and then cyclical variation.
