    An irreducible stochastic matrix \(S\) of order \(n\) with stationary vector \(\pi^T\), and the principal submatrix \(S_{(i)}\) formed by deleting the \(i\)th row and column of \(S\) is considered. The relation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\max_{1\leq i\leq n}\pi_i\|(I- S_{(i)})^{-1}\|_\infty\leq \min_{1\leq j\leq n}\|(I- S_{(j)})\|_\inftyNEWLINE\]NEWLINE is obtained for it. An attainable lower bound on NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\max_{1\leq i\leq n}\pi_i\|(I- S_{(i)})^{-1}\|_\inftyNEWLINE\]NEWLINE is provided, and the case of its equality is discussed.
