The n × n Brualdi-Li matrix Bn has recently been shown to have maximal Perron value (spectral radius) ρ among all tournament matrices of even order n, thus settling the conjecture by the same name. This renews our interest in estimating ρ and motivates us to study the Perron eigenvector x of Bn, which is normalized to have 1-norm equal to one. It follows that x minimizes the 2-norm among all Pe...

The transition matrix, which characterizes a discrete time homogeneous Markov chain, is a stochastic matrix. A stochastic matrix is a special nonnegative matrix with each row summing up to 1. In this paper, we focus on the computation of the stationary distribution of a transition matrix from the viewpoint of the Perron vector of a nonnegative matrix, based on which an algorithm for the station...

We consider the Fröbenius-Perron semigroup of linear operators associated to a semidynamical system defined in a topological space X endowed with a finite or a σ -finite regular measure. We prove that if there exists a faithful invariant measure for the semidynamical system, then the Fröbenius-Perron semigroup of linear operators is C0-continuous in the space Lμ(X). We also give a geometrical c...

CHANCHAN, PRAKASH. An Algorithm for Computing the Perron Root of a Nonnegative Irreducible Matrix. (Under the direction of Carl D. Meyer.) We present a new algorithm for computing the Perron root of a nonnegative irreducible matrix. The algorithm is formulated by combining a reciprocal of the well known Collatz’s formula with a special inverse iteration algorithm discussed in [10, Linear Algebr...

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.

We provide a proof for a Perron-type theorem on the principal eigenvalue of nonsymmetric elliptic operators based on the strong maximum principle. This proof is modeled after a variational proof of Perron’s theorem for matrices with positive entries that does not appeal to Perron-Frobenius theory.

A matrix is said to have the Perron-Frobenius property if it has a positive dominant eigenvalue that corresponds to a nonnegative eigenvector. Matrices having this and similar properties are studied in this paper. Characterizations of collections of such matrices are given in terms of the spectral projector. Some combinatorial, spectral, and topological properties of such matrices are presented...

The sign-real and the sign-complex spectral radius, also called the generalized spectral radius, proved to be an interesting generalization of the classical Perron-Frobenius theory (for nonnegative matrices) to general real and to general complex matrices, respectively. Especially the generalization of the well-known Collatz-Wielandt max-min characterization shows one of the many one-to-one cor...
