We consider nonnegative r-potent matrices with finite dimensions and study their decomposability. We derive the precise conditions under which an r-potent matrix is decomposable. We further determine a general structure for the r-potent matrices based on their decomposibility. Finally, we establish that semigroups of r-potent matrices are also decomposable.
Abstract:We investigate the decomposability of nonnegative compact r-potent operators on a separable Hilbert space L 2 pX q. We provide a constructive algorithm to prove that basis functions of range spaces of nonnegative r-potent operators can be chosen to be all nonnegative and mutually orthogonal. We use this orthogonality to establish that nonnegative compact r-potent operators with range spaces of dimension strictly greater than r´1 are decomposable.
Abstract. A band is a semigroup of idempotent operators. A nonnegative band S in B(L 2 (X)) having at least one element of finite rank and with rank (S) > 1 for all S in S is known to have a special kind of common invariant subspace which is termed a standard subspace (defined below).Such bands are called decomposable. Decomposability has helped to understand the structure of nonnegative bands with constant finite rank. In this paper, a geometric characterization of maximal, rank-one, indecomposable nonnegative bands is obtained which facilitates the understanding of their geometric structure.
