Generalized communication conditions and the eigenvalue problem for a monotone and homogenous function
This work is concerned with the eigenvalue problem for a monotone and homogenous self-mapping of a finite dimensional positive cone. Paralleling the classical analysis of the (linear) Perron–Frobenius theorem, a verifiable communication condition is formulated in terms of the successive compositions of , and under such a condition it is shown that the upper eigenspaces of are bounded in the projective sense, a property that yields the existence of a nonlinear eigenvalue as well as the projective...
