Perturbing eigenvalues of nonnegative matrices

Abstract: Let

A

be an irreducible (entrywise) nonnegative

n i m e s n

matrix with eigenvalues

ho, b+ic,b-ic, lambda_4,cdots,lambda_n,

where

h o

is the Perron eigenvalue. It is shown that for any

t i n [0, i n f t y)

there is a nonnegative matrix with eigenvalues

ho+ ilde t,lambda_2+t,lambda_3+t, lambda_4 cdots,lambda_n,

whenever

i l d e t g e g a m m a_{n} t

with

g a m m a_{3} = 1, g a m m a_{4} = 2, g a m m a_{5} = s q r t 5

and

g a m m a_{n} = 2.25

for

n g e 6

. The result improves that of Guo et al. Our proof depends on an auxiliary result in geometry asserting that the area of an

n

-sided convex polygon is bounded by

g a m m a_{n}

times the maximum area of the triangle lying inside the polygon.
