A Note on the Proof of the Perron-Frobenius Theorem
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides a simple proof for the Perron-Frobenius theorem concerned with positive matrices using a homotopy technique. By analyzing the behaviour of the eigenvalues of a family of positive matrices, we observe that the conclusions of Perron-Frobenius theorem will hold if it holds for the starting matrix of this family. Based on our observations, we develop a simple numerical technique for approximating the Perron’s eigenpair of a given positive matrix. We apply the techniques introduced in the paper to approximate the Perron’s interval eigenvalue of a given positive interval matrix.

Some results on the block numerical range
The main results of this paper are generalizations of classical results from the numerical range to the block numerical range. A different and simpler proof for the Perron-Frobenius theory on the block numerical range of an irreducible nonnegative matrix is given. In addition, the Wielandt's lemma and the Ky Fan's theorem on the block numerical range are extended.
متن کاملPERRON-FROBENIUS THEORY ON THE NUMERICAL RANGE FOR SOME CLASSES OF REAL MATRICES
We give further results for Perron-Frobenius theory on the numericalrange of real matrices and some other results generalized from nonnegative matricesto real matrices. We indicate two techniques for establishing the main theorem ofPerron and Frobenius on the numerical range. In the rst method, we use acorresponding version of Wielandt's lemma. The second technique involves graphtheory.
متن کاملCompact weighted Frobenius-Perron operators and their spectra
In this note we characterize the compact weighted Frobenius-Perron operator $p$ on $L^1(Sigma)$ and determine their spectra. We also show that every weakly compact weighted Frobenius-Perron operator on $L^1(Sigma)$ is compact.
متن کاملThe Sign-Real Spectral Radius for Real Tensors
In this paper a new quantity for real tensors, the sign-real spectral radius, is defined and investigated. Various characterizations, bounds and some properties are derived. In certain aspects our quantity shows similar behavior to the spectral radius of a nonnegative tensor. In fact, we generalize the Perron Frobenius theorem for nonnegative tensors to the class of real tensors.
متن کاملFrobenius kernel and Wedderburn's little theorem
We give a new proof of the well known Wedderburn's little theorem (1905) that a finite division ring is commutative. We apply the concept of Frobenius kernel in Frobenius representation theorem in finite group theory to build a proof.
