Apply the matrix norm induced by an energy norm and set $T=A^{1/2}C(\omega )A^{-1/2}=I-A^{1/2}{B}^{-1}{A}^{1/2}$. Multiplication givesThe bracket factors as $B^{-T}(B+B^T-A)B^{-1}$. Because $B=D/\omega +L$ and $A=D+L+L^T$,Thus $T^{T}T=M(\omega )$ for the stated matrix. In particular $M(\omega )$ is a positive semidefinite matrix. The Euclidean operator norm squared is the largest eigenvalue of $T^{T}T$, and all those eigenvalues are nonnegative. ConsequentlyThis identity is the algebraic step in the energy-norm proof of convergence of SOR; spectral radius equals the largest eigenvalue here because $M(\omega )=T^{T}T$.

Yes. Part (a) diagonalizes $G=B$, whose spectral radius is $3/8<1$. Thusand every initial error converges to zero. For the specified initial vector, solving $Ax=b$ gives $x=(1,-1{)}^T$ and $e_0=(-1,1{)}^T$. In fact,The special formula is not asserted for $n=0$, because the zero-eigenvalue component disappears only after the first step.

The iteration matrix has eigenvalues $0,-1/2,1/2$: expanding its characteristic polynomial down the first column leaves the triangular two-by-two block with diagonal entries $-1/2,1/2$. The distinct eigenvalues ensure diagonalizability. Thus its spectral radius is $1/2<1$.

The previous bound gives $\Vert f_n\Vert \le 2^{-n}\Vert f_0\Vert \to 0$, so the Gauss-Seidel iteration converges for every initial guess under the stated diagonalization. Its limit is the exact solution $(1,1,-1{)}^T$. Since $e_n=S{f}_n$, a fixed matrix also sends this transformed error to zero; its operator norm can account for any amplification in the original coordinates.

An element of a complex unital Banach algebra is quasinilpotent if its spectral radius is zero, equivalently its spectrum of an element is $\{0\}$. A nilpotent element is quasinilpotent, but the converse need not hold. The Volterra convolution algebra on a finite interval gives powers which never vanish, yet have factorially decreasing norms, making the inverse series for $\lambda e-x$ converge for every $\lambda \ne 0$.

When $\beta \rho (A)<1$, summing the adjacency-matrix bound for a discrete SIR epidemic gives the displayed Neumann series bound on the expected total infected count $Z$. For an undirected graph, the adjacency matrix of a graph is a symmetric matrix, so its Euclidean operator norm equals its spectral radius. The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality then yields $\mathbb{E}Z\le \sqrt{nm}/(1-\beta \rho )$ for $m$ initially infected vertices.

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.

Suppose $x_{n+1}=G{x}_n+c$ has a fixed point $x_{\ast }$ and $G=SD{S}^{-1}$ with diagonal $D$. For $e_n=x_n-x_{\ast }$ and $f_n=S^{-1}{e}_n$, subtraction gives $f_n=D^n{f}_0$. In the Euclidean norm,Thus $\Vert e_n{\Vert }_2\le \Vert S{\Vert }_2\Vert S^{-1}{\Vert }_2\rho (G{)}^n\Vert e_0{\Vert }_2$. Spectral radius below one implies convergence for every start. The unit-constant bound belongs to the transformed coordinates; it does not automatically hold in the original Euclidean norm when $S$ is nonorthogonal.

If an entire Banach algebra-valued function has bounded spectral radius, that spectral radius is constant. The spectral-radius three-circle inequality on circles about an arbitrary point, with the outer radius tending to infinity, bounds every interior value by the maximum on any smaller circle. Upper semicontinuity of the spectral radius then lets the smaller radius tend to zero. Every value is bounded by the value at the arbitrary center; exchanging centers gives equality. The algebra-valued function itself can be nonconstant, for example $zN$ for a fixed nonzero square-zero matrix $N$.

For a Banach algebra-valued holomorphic function, set $p_n(w)=\Vert f(w{)}^{2^n}{\Vert }^{1/2^n}$. These continuous functions decrease to the spectral radius by the spectral radius formula. If $M={\sup }_{\partial K}r(f(w))$, the continuous functions $\max \{p_n,M\}$ on $\partial K$ decrease to the continuous constant $M$. The Dini theorem gives uniform convergence. Apply the norm maximum principle for a Banach-space-valued holomorphic function to each power, and then let $n\to \infty$. This proof does not assume continuity of spectral radius.

For a holomorphic Banach algebra-valued function, put $M_r(f)={\sup }_{|z|=r}r(f(z))$. Apply the Hadamard three-circle theorem to the holomorphic powers $f^{2^n}$. The continuous functions $\Vert f(z{)}^{2^n}{\Vert }^{1/2^n}$ decrease to the spectral radius. Supremum convergence for decreasing continuous functions passes the boundary suprema to the limit, proving the inequality with the same logarithmic interpolation parameter. In particular, at the geometric-mean radius, the square of the middle spectral radius is at most the product of the two boundary suprema.

This criterion holds even for reducible nonnegative matrices. If a fixed point $p\ne 0$ exists, $1-e^{-z}<z$ for $z>0$ gives $(\Lambda p{)}_i>p_i$ on its support. Some $\alpha >1$ therefore satisfies $\Lambda p\ge \alpha p$, forcing the spectral radius above one by the Perron–Frobenius theorem. Conversely take $v\ge 0$, $v\ne 0$, with $\Lambda v=\rho v$ and $\rho >1$. For sufficiently small $\eta >0$, $1-e^{-\eta \rho v_i}\ge \eta v_i$. Thus $\eta v$ is a subsolution; monotone iteration under $T$ gives a positive fixed point below $1$. Strictness of $1-e^{-z}<z$ excludes survival at the critical value for this Poisson offspring law.

Let $P$ be a bounded linear operator on a complex Banach space with $P^2=P$, $P\ne 0$ and $P\ne I$. Its image of a linear map and kernel contain nonzero vectors, giving eigenvalues one and zero. For $\lambda \notin \{0,1\}$,Direct multiplication proves the formula, so the spectrum is exactly $\{0,1\}$ and its spectral radius is one. Since $P^j=P$ and $\Vert P\Vert \ge 1$, the spectral radius formula is explicit: ${\inf }_{j\ge 1}\Vert P^j{\Vert }^{1/j}={\lim }_{j\to \infty }\Vert P{\Vert }^{1/j}=1$.

Write $x=h+ik$ with both terms Hermitian. At least one is nonzero; its norm equals its spectral radius, so it has a nonzero spectral value. Spectral values attained by C-star states gives a state taking that nonzero value on the chosen term. Both state values on $h,k$ are real, so the corresponding complex value on $x$ cannot vanish. This also detects nonzero quasinilpotent elements, which cannot be separated by looking only at their own spectrum.

A stationary iteration has the formwith a fixed iteration matrix $H$. It converges for every initial vector exactly when the spectral radius satisfies $\rho (H)<1$.

This is an iterative method whose update matrix remains fixed.

For a heterogeneous SIS model with common recovery rate and a positive endemic equilibrium $I_{\ast }$, force balance gives $\mathrm{diag}(s_{\ast })K{I}_{\ast }=I_{\ast }$. When the transmission matrix is irreducible and nonnegative, the positive equilibrium vector and the Perron–Frobenius theorem imply the displayed spectral radius identity. It replaces the homogeneous scalar relation $s_{\ast }=1/R_0$: different recipient types generally have different susceptible fractions.

For queue-class pairs $a$, external arrival rates ${\nu }_a$, and routing probabilities $p_{ab}$, the effective throughputs satisfy ${\lambda }_a={\nu }_a+{\sum }_b{\lambda }_b{p}_{ba}$. In an open network with routing spectral radius less than one, $\lambda =(I-P^T{)}^{-1}\nu$ is the unique nonnegative solution. Summing gives ${\sum }_a{\lambda }_a{p}_{a0}={\sum }_a{\nu }_a$, balancing total entrances and exits.
