Abstract

A matrix A ∈ R n×n is eventually nonnegative (respectively, eventually positive) if there exists a positive integer k0 such that for all k ≥ k0, Ak ≥ 0 (respectively, Ak > 0). Here inequalities are entrywise and all matrices are real and square. An eigenvalue of A is dominant if its magnitude is equal to the spectral radius of A. A matrix A has the strong Perron-Frobenius property if A has a unique dominant eigenvalue that is positive, simple, and has a positive eigenvector. It is well known (see, e.g., [10]) that the set of matrices for which both A and AT have the strong Perron-Frobenius property coincides with the set of eventually positive matrices. Eventually nonnegative matrices and eventually positive matrices have applications to positive control theory (see, e.g., [13]).
