In functional analysis, the Krein–Rutman theorem is a generalisation of the Perron–Frobenius theorem to infinite-dimensional Banach spaces.[1] It was proved by Krein and Rutman in 1948.[2]

Statement

Let be a Banach space, and let be a convex cone such that is dense in , i.e. the closure of the set . is also known as a total cone. Let be a non-zero compact operator which is positive, meaning that , and assume that its spectral radius is strictly positive.

Then is an eigenvalue of with positive eigenvector, meaning that there exists such that .

De Pagter's theorem

If the positive operator is assumed to be ideal irreducible, namely, there is no ideal , such that , then de Pagter's theorem[3] asserts that .

Therefore, for ideal irreducible operators the assumption is not needed.
