Abstract: We provide conditions for the existence of measurable solutions to the equation xi(Tomega)=f(omega,xi(omega)), where T:OmegaightarrowOmega is an automorphism of the probability space Omega and f(omega,cdot) is a strictly non-expansive mapping. We use results of this kind to establish a stochastic nonlinear analogue of the Perron-Frobenius theorem on eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a positive matrix. We consider a random mapping D(omega) of a random closed cone K(omega) in a finite-dimensional linear space into the cone K(Tomega). Under assumptions of monotonicity and homogeneity of D(omega), we prove the existence of scalar and vector measurable functions alpha(omega)>0 and x(omega)inK(omega) satisfying the equation alpha(omega)x(Tomega)=D(omega)x(omega) almost surely.
