A generalization of the Perron-Frobenius theorem (Q5915370)

In the first part of the reviewed article the authors study an autonomous dynamical system generated by an arbitrary continuous increasing positively homogeneous operator \(F\) with the property: there is an eigenvector of \(F\) which is an interior point of the domain of \(F\). The main result here gives the description of a small attractor (a set containing all limit points of the trajectory \(\alpha^{-t} F^{t}(x)\), \(\alpha\) is a positive eigenvalue, \(x\) is a given vector) of the dimension less or equal \(n-2\), where \(n\) is the dimension of the space. This analog of the Perron-Frobenius theory corollary is applied for the investigation of certain models of economic dynamics. The second part of the article is devoted to nonautonomous versions of the dynamical systems generated by a sequence of operators in assumption that these operators share a common eigenvector. The attractor of such systems is described. In particular again it is shown that if all operators from the given sequence are in definite sense uniformly strictly increasing at this common eigenvector, then all trajectories of the system tend to the corresponding eigenray.
