Ferdinand Georg Frobenius has several theorems with his name in them, more than one of which have only his name.
Frobeniustheorem in differential geometry and topology for integrable subbundles;
Frobenius reciprocity theorem in group representation theory describing the reciprocity relation between restricted and induced representations on a subgroup;
In mathematics, the Perron–Frobenius theorem, named after Oskar Perron and Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, is a theorem in matrix theory about the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real positive n×n matrix:
This result has a natural interpretation in the theory of finite Markov chains (where it is the matrix-theoretic equivalent of the convergence of a finite Markov chain, formulated in terms of the transition matrix of the chain; see, for example, the article on the subshift of finite type).
The Perron–Frobenius theorem can be further generalized to the class of block-indecomposable non-negative matrices (called "irreducible" in reference [1] below, also called regular in the stochastic case).
When Q is unramified: G_Q isomorphic to Gal_k l; definition of the Frobenius symbol of Q in L:K. Concrete characterization of the Frobenius symbol.
Relating Cebotarev's density theorem for the 13th cyclotomic field to the distribution of primes mod 13.
Typical application (already proved by Frobenius): density of primes with a given factorization type in L is the density of permutations with that cycle type in the Galois closure of L. What the existence theorem says.
Theorem: (Fundamental Theorem of Algebra) an algebraic expression of the polynomial form:
Proofs of the various aspects of the Perron-Frobenius theorems (plus extensions) are given in Debreu and Herstein (1953), Morishima (1964), Murata (1977), Nikaido (1960), Pasinetti (1975), Takayama (1974) and Kurz and Salvadori (1995).
Theorem: (Routh-Hurwitz) A necessary and sufficient condition that all the roots of the n-degree polynomial equation with real coefficients:
Complex eigenvalues are a real possibility as only symmetric matrices are guaranteed to not have them, and very few of the matrices we have been discussing, in application, will be symmetric with the notable exception of undirected graphs.
In general, it should be remarked that graph theory and nonnegative matrices have a very strong relationship and that the Perron-Frobenius Theorem is often a powerful tool in graph theory.
The Perron-Frobenius Theorem has proven to be a consistently powerful result for examining certain nonnegative matrices arising in discrete models.
In the proof of Burnside's Theorem in the book (Theorem 4.3), I use Frobenius' Theorem (which, as remarked on Page 36, uses character theory).
Professor Ram Abhyankar pointed out to me that this theorem occurs already in the first edition of Burnside's book (and hence must have a proof not using character theory!) Here is the proof.
By Theorem 4.4, if a primitive group has more than one minimal normal subgroup, then it has just two, and each is the centraliser of the other, so they are non-abelian and regular.

Authors: Piccione, Paolo; Tausk, Daniel V. Using the notion of Levi form of a smooth distribution, we discuss the local and the global problem of existence of one horizontal section of a smooth vector bundle endowed with a horizontal distribution.
The analysis will lead to the formulation of a "one-leaf" analogue of the classical Frobenius integrability theorem in elementary differential geometry.
Second, we will prove a general version of the classical Cartan-Ambrose-Hicks Theorem giving conditions on the existence of an affine map with prescribed differential at one point between manifolds endowed with connections.

Atlas: Twisted Burnside-Frobenius theorem for discrete groups by Alexander Fel'shtyn(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
It is proved for a wide class of groups including polycyclic and finitely generated polynomial growth groups that the Reidemeister number of an automorphism is equal to the number of finite-dimensional fixed points of induced map on the unitary dual space, if one of these numbers is finite.
This theorem is a natural generalisation to infinite discrete groups of the classical Burnside-Frobenius theorem.

A simple proof of the Perron-Frobenius theorem for positive symmetric matrices
An elementary proof is given that the statistical mechanical transfer matrix, when symmetric, has a maximum eigenvalue which is non-degenerate and larger than the absolute value of any other eigenvalue.

question on the integration theorem of Frobenius(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Subject: question on the integration theorem of Frobenius
As far as I understand it the Frobeniustheorem says that if w is a 1-form then it can be written as w = fdu (f and u are 0-forms, i.e., functions) if and only if w ^ dw =0.
Now let us assume that for some 1-form w w ^ dw <> 0 and hence one cannot write it as fdu.

If we look back at the statement of the Perron-Frobenius Theorem, we see it guaranteed a positive eigenvalue (with positive eigenvector) with absolute value greater than or equal to that of any other eigenvalue.
