Uniform power bound for matrix Fourier symbols

ID: uniform-power-bound-for-matrix-fourier-symbols

This uniform bound is the actual fixed-time stability requirement for a vector-valued periodic grid evolution. Eigenvalue moduli alone are insufficient for nonnormal matrices. A unit Jordan block with an order-one off-diagonal entry grows like , while an entry proportional to can give bounded growth on . Uniform eigenvector conditioning or a suitable discrete energy estimate can establish the bound. Mesh-dependent diagonalizations cannot be treated as automatically harmless.
