Abstract

The Perron complement is a smaller matrix derived in a natural way from a square nonnegative matrix. By compressing the directed graph of a nonnegative matrix in a certain way, we analyze fully the connected components, irreducibility and primitivity of its Perron complement with respect to a given subset of indices.
