Tubal scalars are usual vectors, and tubal matrices are matrices with every element being a tubal scalar. Such a matrix is often recognized as a third-order tensor. The product between tubal scalars, tubal vectors, and tubal matrices can be done by the powerful t-product. In this paper, we define nonnegative/positive/strongly positive tubal scalars/vectors/matrices, and establish several properties that are analogous to their matrix counterparts. In particular, we introduce the irreducible tubal matrix, and provide two equivalent characterizations. Then, the celebrated Perron-Frobenius theorem is established on the nonnegative irreducible tubal matrices. We show that some conclusions of the PF theorem for nonnegative irreducible matrices can be generalized to the tubal matrix setting, while some are not. One reason is the defined positivity here has a different meaning to its usual sense. For those conclusions that can not be extended, weaker conclusions are proved. We also show that, if the nonnegative irreducible tubal matrix contains a strongly positive tubal scalar, then most conclusions of the matrix PF theorem hold.
In this paper, we mainly focus on how to generalize some conclusions from nonnegative irreducible tensors to nonnegative weakly irreducible tensors. To do so, a basic and important lemma is proven using new tools. First, we give the definition of stochastic tensors. Then we show that every nonnegative weakly irreducible tensor with spectral radius being one is diagonally similar to a unique weakly irreducible stochastic tensor. Based on it, we prove some important lemmas, which help us to generalize the results related. Some counterexamples are provided to show that some conclusions for nonnegative irreducible tensors do not hold for nonnegative weakly irreducible tensors.
We look at periodic Jacobi matrices on trees. We provide upper and lower bounds on the gap of such operators analogous to the well known gap in the spectrum of the Laplacian on the upper half-plane with hyperbolic metric. We make some conjectures about antibound states and make an interesting observation for what [3] calls the rg-model.
In further pursuit of the diagonalizable emph{real nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem} (RNIEP), we study the relationship between the emph{row cone} $mathcal{C}_r(S)$ and the emph{spectracone} $mathcal{C}(S)$ of a Perron similarity $S$. In the process, a new kind of matrix, emph{row Hadamard conic} (RHC), is defined and related to the D-RNIEP. Characterizations are given when $mathcal{C}_r(S) = mathcal{C}(S)$, and explicit examples are given for all possible set-theoretic relationships between the two cones. The symmetric NIEP is the special case of the D-RNIEP in which the Perron similarity $S$ is also orthogonal.
Algebras generated by strictly positive matrices are described up to similarity, including the commutative, simple, and semisimple cases. We provide sufficient conditions for some block diagonal matrix algebras to be generated by a set of nonnegative matrices up to similarity. Also we find all realizable dimensions of algebras generated by two nonnegative semi-commuting matrices. The last result provides the solution to the problem posed by M. Kandi{c}, K. v{S}ivic (2017).
The aim of this manuscript is to understand the dynamics of products of nonnegative matrices. We extend a well known consequence of the Perron-Frobenius theorem on the periodic points of a nonnegative matrix to products of finitely many nonnegative matrices associated to a word and later to products of nonnegative matrices associated to a word, possibly of infinite length. We also make use of an appropriate definition of the exponential map and the logarithm map on the positive orthant of $mathbb{R}^{n}$ and explore the relationship between the periodic points of certain subhomogeneous maps defined through the above functions and the periodic points of matrix products, mentioned above.
