On Generalizations of the Perron-Frobenius Theorem.

Abstract

The Perron-Frobenius Theorem states that a matrix with nonnegative entries has at least one nonnegative eigenvalue of maximal absolute value and a corresponding eigenvector with nonnegative components. We discuss generalizations of this celebrated theorem that locate an eigenvalue of maximal absolute value and the components of a corresponding eigenvector within a certain angle of the complex plane depending on the angle which contains the entries of the matrix. A complete description of the 2 x 2 case as well as partial results for the general case are given.
