In this paper, we analyse the Perron vector of an irreducible nonnegative tensor, and present some lower and upper bounds for the ratio of the smallest and largest entries of a Perron vector based on some new techniques, which always improve the existing ones. Applying these new ratio results, we first refine two-sided bounds for the spectral radius of an irreducible nonnegative tensor. In particular, for the matrix case, the new bounds also improve the corresponding ones. Second, we provide a new Ky Fan type theorem, which improves the existing one. Third, we refine the perturbation bound for the spectral radii of nonnegative tensors, from which one may derive a comparison theorem for spectral radii of nonnegative tensors. Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of the theoretical results.

Keywords: Nonnegative tensor, Perron vector, irreducibility, spectral radius, bound.

Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 15A69.
