# A Perron-Frobenius-type Theorem for Positive Matrix Semigroups

A Perron-Frobenius-type Theorem for Positive Matrix Semigroups One consequence of the Perron–Frobenius Theorem on indecomposable positive matrices is that whenever an $$n\times n$$ n × n matrix A dominates a non-singular positive matrix, there is an integer k dividing n such that, after a permutation of basis, A is block-monomial with $$k\times k$$ k × k blocks. Furthermore, for suitably large exponents, the nonzero blocks of $$A^m$$ A m are strictly positive. We present an extension of this result for indecomposable semigroups of positive matrices. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Positivity Springer Journals

### Abstract

One consequence of the Perron–Frobenius Theorem on indecomposable positive matrices is that whenever an $$n\times n$$ n × n matrix A dominates a non-singular positive matrix, there is an integer k dividing n such that, after a permutation of basis, A is block-monomial with $$k\times k$$ k × k blocks. Furthermore, for suitably large exponents, the nonzero blocks of $$A^m$$ A m are strictly positive. We present an extension of this result for indecomposable semigroups of positive matrices.
