Nonlinear Perron-Frobenius theory and discrete event systems

We show how methods from nonlinear spectral theory can be used to analyse the time behaviour of dynamical discrete event systems. RÉSUMÉ. Nous montrons comment analyser le comportement temporel des systèmes à événements discrets à l’aide de résultats de théorie spectrale non-linéaire.

Stochastic Nonlinear Perron-frobenius Theorem∗

We establish a stochastic nonlinear analogue of the PerronFrobenius theorem on eigenvalues and eigenvectors of positive matrices. The result is formulated in terms of an automorphism T of a probability space (Ω,F , P ) and a random mapping D(ω, ·) : R+ → R+. Under assumptions of monotonicity and homogeneity of D(ω, ·), we prove the existence of scalar and vector measurable functions α(ω) > 0 an...

Admissible Arrays and a Nonlinear Generalization of Perron-frobenius Theory

Let Kn ̄2x `2n :x i & 0 for 1% i% n ́ and suppose that f :Kn MNKn is nonexpansive with respect to the F " -norm and f(0) ̄ 0. It is known that for every x `Kn there exists a periodic point ξ ̄ ξ x `Kn (so f p(ξ ) ̄ ξ for some minimal positive integer p ̄ pξ) and f k(x) approaches 2 f j(ξ ) :0% j! p ́ as k approaches infinity. What can be said about P*(n), the set of positive integers p for which there...

Perron-frobenius Theory for Complex Matrices

The purpose of this paper is to present a unified Perron-Frobenius Theory for nonnegative, for real not necessarily nonnegative and for general complex matrices. The sign-real spectral radius was introduced for general real matrices. This quantity was shown to share certain properties with the Perron root of nonnegative matrices. In this paper we introduce the sign-complex spectral radius. Agai...
