Wielandt's Theorem


Let the n×n matrix A satisfy the conditions of the Perron-Frobenius theorem with spectral radius R>0, and let the n×n matrix C=(c_(ij)) satisfy

 |c_(ij)|<=a_(ij)

for i,j=1, 2, ..., n. Then any eigenvalue lambda_0 of C satisfies the inequality |lambda_0|<=R with the equality sign holding only when there exists an n×n diagonal matrix D=(e^(itheta_i)delta_(ij)) (where theta_i in R and delta_(ij) is the Kronecker delta) such that

 C=(lambda_0)/RDAD^(-1).
