The theorem on positive matrices proved by Perron has been extended to certain positive linear operators in ordered vector spaces by Jentzsch and later by Birkhoff. In the present paper, the author gives a nonlinear version of the previous results for a class of operators which includes concave operators. For the proof it is required that the positive cone is complete with respect to the Hilbert's metric. Necessary and sufficient conditions in order for it to occur are given.
