The influence of the marked reduced graph of a nonnegative matrix on the Jordan form and on related properties: a survey. (English) Zbl 0613.15017
The author gives a survey, beginning with Frobenius, of certain properties of a nonnegative matrix which are related to, or can be expressed by, properties of the marked reduced graph of the matrix. For a nonnegative square matrix P with Perron-Frobenius root $$\rho$$ the areas surveyed are: (1) positivity properties of the eigenvectors and generalized eigenvectors of P; (2) the nonnegative solutions x of $$(\lambda I-P)x=b$$, for a given nonnegative vector b and given real number $$\lambda$$ ; (3) the Jordan blocks associated with $$\rho$$ in the Jordan canonical form of P; (4) the growth of the elements of $$P^ m$$ as m grows.
