Abstract A new upper bound for the spectral radius of matrices having the Perron–Frobenius property is given by considering the position of positive entries. Some examples involving the largest zero of polynomials and the spectral radius of the iterative matrix for the Perron–Frobenius splitting are given to show the superiority of the theoretical result.

We in this paper define the outer-Perron-Frobenius splitting, which is an extension of the pseudo- Perron-Frobenius splitting defined in [A.N. Sushama, K. Premakumari, K.C. Sivakumar, Extensions of Perron-Frobenius splittings and relationships with nonnegative Moore-Penrose inverse, Linear and Multilinear Algebra 63 (2015) 1-11]. We present some criteria for the convergence of the outer-Perron-Frobenius splitting. The findings of this paper generalize some known results in the literatures.

A matrix A ∈ ℝn×n is a GM-matrix if A = sI − B, where 0 < ρ(B) ≤ s and B ∈WPFn i.e., both B and Bthave ρ(B) as their eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvector is entry wise nonnegative. In this article,we consider a generalization of a subclass of GM-matrices having a nonnegative core nilpotent decompositionand prove a characterization result for such matrices. Also, we study various notions of splitting of matricesfrom this new class and obtain sufficient conditions for their convergence.
