Frobenius-Perron eigenvalue and eigenvector of sum of two matrices

Suppose that I have two positive matrices, $A$, and $B$, and I know their Frobenius-Perron eigenvalues ($\lambda_A$, $\lambda_B$) and eigenvectors ($v_A$, $v_B$). I'm interested in what I can say ...

Eigenvalues of a rank-one update of a symmetric matrix

I have a matrix $A$ $(n\times n)$ with eigenvalues $\lambda_i$, then I add another matrix to it as: $A+xx^\top$ where $x$ $(n\times 1)$ is a column vector. and also $A=yy^\top$ with $y$ a $(n-1)$ rank ...
