2 00 1 Applications of Perron - Frobenius Theory to Population Dynamics

چکیده
By the use of Perron-Frobenius theory, simple proofs are given of the Fundamental Theorem of Demography and of a theorem of Cushing and Yicang on the net reproductive rate occurring in matrix models of population dynamics. The latter result is further refined with some additional nonnegative matrix theory. When the fertility matrix is scaled by the net reproductive rate, the growth rate of the model is 1. More generally, we show how to achieve a given growth rate for the model by scaling the fertility matrix. Demographic interpretations of the results are given.

PERRON-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.

By the use of Perron-Frobenius theory, simple proofs are given of the Fundamental Theorem of Demography and of a theorem of Cushing and Yicang on the net reproductive rate occurring in matrix models of population dynamics. The latter result, which is closely related to the Stein-Rosenberg theorem in numerical linear algebra, is further refined with some additional nonnegative matrix theory. Whe...
متن کاملSome 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.

We introduce complex cones and associated projective gauges, generalizing a real Birkhoff cone and its Hilbert metric to complex vector spaces. We deduce a variety of spectral gap theorems in complex Banach spaces. We prove a dominated complex cone-contraction Theorem and use it to extend the classical Perron-Frobenius Theorem to complex matrices, Jentzsch’s Theorem to complex integral operator...
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.
