Let a real square $ ( n \times n) $-matrix $ A $
be considered as an operator on $ \mathbf R ^ {n} $,
let it be without invariant coordinate subspaces (such a matrix is called indecomposable) and let it be non-negative (i.e. all its elements are non-negative). Also, let $ \lambda _ {1}, \dots, \lambda _ {n} $
be its eigen values, enumerated such that
$$ | \lambda _ {1} | = \dots = | \lambda _ {h} | > | \lambda _ {h+} 1 | \geq \dots \geq | \lambda _ {n} | ,\ \ 1 \leq h \leq n. $$
Then,
1) the number $ r = | \lambda _ {1} | $ is a simple positive root of the characteristic polynomial of $ A $;
2) there exists an eigen vector of $ A $ with positive coordinates corresponding to $ r $;
3) the numbers $ \lambda _ {1}, \dots, \lambda _ {h} $ coincide, apart from their numbering, with the numbers $ r, \omega r, \dots, \omega ^ {h-1} r $, where $ \omega = e ^ {2 \pi i/h } $;
4) the product of any eigen value of $ A $ by $ \omega $ is an eigen value of $ A $;
5) for $ h > 1 $ one can find a permutation of the rows and columns that reduces $ A $ to the form
$$ \left \| \begin{array}{ccccc} 0 &A _ {1} & 0 &\cdots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 &A _ {2} &\cdots & 0 \\ \vdots &\vdots &\vdots &\ddots &\vdots \\ 0 & 0 & 0 &\cdots &A _ {h-1} \\ A _ {h} & 0 & 0 &\cdots & 0 \\ \end{array} \right \| , $$
where $ A _ {j} $ is a matrix of order $ nh ^ {-1} $.
O. Perron proved the assertions 1) and 2) for positive matrices in [1], while G. Frobenius [2] gave the full form of the theorem.
