 Simultaneous spectral-radius renorming

For a finite commuting family in a unital Banach algebra, divide each $x_j$ by $r(x_j)+\epsilon /2$. The spectral radius formula makes each normalized element's powers bounded. Commutativity lets every product be reordered into one power of each generator, so the entire generated semigroup is bounded. Renorming a bounded multiplicative semigroup gives the displayed bounds simultaneously. Applying this to two commuting elements proves submultiplicativity and subadditivity of their spectral radius.
