Hi Halim,
I guess this works for you.  Modifying Jeff's solution:

volinp<-c(0,0.000467,0.002762,0.008621,0.020014,0.038907,0.067094)
vol1 <- dcmat %*% (volmat +wt)
for(idx in seq_along(volinp)[-1]){
 vol1 <- cbind(vol1,dcmat %*% (vol1[,idx-1] + volinp[idx] *wt))
 }

#or

vol <- matrix( NA, nrow=5, ncol=length( volinp ) )
vol[ , 1 ] <- dcmat %*% ( volmat + wt )

for ( idx in seq_along(volinp)[ -1 ] ) {
  vol[ , idx ] <- dcmat %*% ( vol[ , idx-1 ] + volinp[idx] * wt )
}
identical(vol,vol1)
#[1] TRUE


A.K.

Hi Arun,

OK, no problem. Thank you very much for your attention. I've posted an annex 
to my previous problem. I will appreciate your comments/suggestions on it.

Off-topic: You're a very helpful man. I like your attitude to helping others.

Take care.

Halim
