Abstract: Motivated by a work of Boros, Brualdi, Crama and Hoffman, we consider the sets of (i) possible Perron roots of nonnegative matrices with prescribed row sums and associated graph, and (ii) possible eigenvalues of complex matrices with prescribed associated graph and row sums of the moduli of their entries. To characterize the set of Perron roots or possible eigenvalues of matrices in these classes we introduce, following an idea of Al'pin, Elsner and van den Driessche, the concept of row uniform matrix, which is a nonnegative matrix where all nonzero entries in every row are equal. Furthermore, we completely characterize the sets of possible Perron roots of the class of nonnegative matrices and the set of possible eigenvalues of the class of complex matrices under study. Extending known results to the reducible case, we derive new sharp bounds on the set of eigenvalues or Perron roots of matrices when the only information available is the graph of the matrix and the row sums of the moduli of its entries. In the last section of the paper a new constructive proof of the Camion-Hoffman theorem is given.
