  ABSTRACT: This paper provides a simple proof for the Perron-Frobenius theorem concerned with positive matrices using a homotopy technique. By analyzing the behaviour of the eigenvalues of a family of positive matrices, we observe that the conclusions of Perron-Frobenius theorem will hold if it holds for the starting matrix of this family. Based on our observations, we develop a simple numerical technique for approximating the Perron’s eigenpair of a given positive matrix. We apply the techniques introduced in the paper to approximate the Perron’s interval eigenvalue of a given positive interval matrix.
