The max-plus eigenspace invariance conjecture for Perron-Frobenius asymptotics

Let AA and BB be matrices, let σ(max+)(A)\sigma_{(\max+)}(A) and σ(max+)(B)\sigma_{(\max+)}(B) denote their max-plus eigenspaces, and let P(A)\mathscr{P}_{\infty}(A) and P(B)\mathscr{P}_{\infty}(B) denote the corresponding limits of normalized Perron eigenvectors. Max-plus eigenspace invariance conjecture. If

σ(max+)(A)=σ(max+)(B),\sigma_{(\max+)}(A)=\sigma_{(\max+)}(B),

then

P(A)=P(B).\mathscr{P}_{\infty}(A)=\mathscr{P}_{\infty}(B).

This is presented as the second conjecture, as a generalization supported by the paper's experiments. It asserts that the asymptotic Perron-Frobenius limit depends only on the max-plus eigenspace, but no proof or resolution is given.
