In [[mathematics]], the '''spectral radius''' of a [[matrix (mathematics)|square matrix]] or a [[bounded linear operator]] is the [[supremum]] among the [[absolute value]]s of the elements in its [[spectrum of a matrix|spectrum]], which is sometimes denoted by ρ(·).

==Matrices==
Let λ<sub>1</sub>, ..., λ<sub>''n''</sub> be the ([[real number|real]] or [[complex number|complex]]) eigenvalues of a matrix ''A'' ∈ '''C'''<sup>''n'' × ''n''</sup>. Then its spectral radius ρ(''A'') is defined as:
 
:<math>\rho(A) \overset{\underset{\mathrm{def}}{}}{=} \max_i(|\lambda_i|)</math>
 
The following lemma shows a simple yet useful upper bound for the spectral radius of a matrix:
 
'''Lemma''': Let <math>A \in \mathbb{C}^{n \times n}</math> be a complex-valued matrix, ρ(''A'') its spectral radius and ||·|| a [[matrix norm#Consistent_norms|consistent matrix norm]]; then, for each ''k'' ∈ '''N''':
 
<math>\rho(A)\leq \|A^k\|^{1/k}.</math>
 
''Proof'': Let ('''v''', λ) be an [[eigenvector]]-[[eigenvalue]] pair for a matrix ''A''. By the sub-multiplicative property of the matrix norm, we get:
 
:<math>|\lambda|^k\|\mathbf{v}\| = \|\lambda^k \mathbf{v}\| = \|A^k \mathbf{v}\| \leq \|A^k\|\cdot\|\mathbf{v}\|</math>
 
and since '''v''' ≠ 0 for each λ we have
 
:<math>|\lambda|^k\leq \|A^k\|</math>
 
and therefore
 
:<math>\rho(A)\leq \|A^k\|^{1/k}\,\,\square</math>
 
The spectral radius is closely related to the behaviour of the convergence of the power sequence of a matrix; namely, the following theorem holds:
 
'''Theorem''': Let ''A'' ∈ '''C'''<sup>''n'' × ''n''</sup> be a complex-valued matrix and ρ(''A'') its spectral radius; then
 
:<math>\lim_{k \to \infty}A^k=0</math> if and only if <math>\rho(A)<1.</math>
 
Moreover, if ρ(''A'')>1, <math>\|A^k\|</math> is not bounded for increasing k values.
 
''Proof'':
 
<math>\left(\lim_{k \to \infty}A^k = 0 \Rightarrow \rho(A) < 1\right)</math>
 
Let ('''v''', λ) be an [[eigenvector]]-[[eigenvalue]] pair for matrix ''A''. Since
 
:<math>A^k\mathbf{v} = \lambda^k\mathbf{v},</math>
 
we have:
 
:<math>\begin{align}
  0 &= \left(\lim_{k \to \infty}A^k\right)\mathbf{v} \\
    &= \lim_{k \to \infty}A^k\mathbf{v} \\
    &= \lim_{k \to \infty}\lambda^k\mathbf{v} \\
    &= \mathbf{v}\lim_{k \to \infty}\lambda^k
\end{align}</math>
 
and, since by hypothesis '''v''' ≠ 0, we must have
 
:<math>\lim_{k \to \infty}\lambda^k = 0</math>
 
which implies |λ| < 1. Since this must be true for any eigenvalue λ, we can conclude ρ(''A'') < 1.
 
<math>\left(\rho(A)<1 \Rightarrow \lim_{k \to \infty}A^k = 0\right)</math>
 
From the [[Jordan normal form]] theorem, we know that for any complex valued matrix <math>A \in \mathbb{C}^{n \times n}</math>, a non-singular matrix <math>V \in \mathbb{C}^{n \times n}</math> and a block-diagonal matrix <math>J \in \mathbb{C}^{n \times n}</math> exist such that:
 
:<math>A = VJV^{-1}</math>
 
with
 
:<math>J=\begin{bmatrix}
J_{m_1}(\lambda_1) & 0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\
0 & J_{m_2}(\lambda_2) & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\
\vdots & \cdots & \ddots & \cdots & \vdots \\
0 & \cdots & 0 & J_{m_{s-1}}(\lambda_{s-1}) & 0 \\
0 & \cdots & \cdots & 0 & J_{m_s}(\lambda_s)
\end{bmatrix}</math>
 
where
 
:<math>J_{m_i}(\lambda_i)=\begin{bmatrix}
\lambda_i & 1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\
0 & \lambda_i & 1 & \cdots & 0 \\
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \ddots & \vdots \\
0 & 0 & \cdots & \lambda_i & 1 \\
0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 & \lambda_i
\end{bmatrix}\in \mathbb{C}^{m_i,m_i}, 1\leq i\leq s.</math>
 
It is easy to see that
 
:<math>A^k=VJ^kV^{-1}</math>
 
and, since <math>J</math> is block-diagonal,
 
:<math>J^k=\begin{bmatrix}
J_{m_1}^k(\lambda_1) & 0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\
0 & J_{m_2}^k(\lambda_2) & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\
\vdots & \cdots & \ddots & \cdots & \vdots \\
0 & \cdots & 0 & J_{m_{s-1}}^k(\lambda_{s-1}) & 0 \\
0 & \cdots & \cdots & 0 & J_{m_s}^k(\lambda_s)
\end{bmatrix}</math>
 
Now, a standard result on the <math>k</math>-power of an <math>m_i \times m_i</math> Jordan block states that, for <math>k \geq m_i-1</math>:
 
:<math>J_{m_i}^k(\lambda_i)=\begin{bmatrix}
\lambda_i^k & {k \choose 1}\lambda_i^{k-1} & {k \choose 2}\lambda_i^{k-2} & \cdots & {k \choose m_i-1}\lambda_i^{k-m_i+1} \\
0 & \lambda_i^k & {k \choose 1}\lambda_i^{k-1} & \cdots & {k \choose m_i-2}\lambda_i^{k-m_i+2} \\
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \ddots & \vdots \\
0 & 0 & \cdots & \lambda_i^k & {k \choose 1}\lambda_i^{k-1} \\
0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 & \lambda_i^k
\end{bmatrix}</math>
 
Thus, if <math>\rho(A) < 1</math> then <math>|\lambda_i| < 1 \forall i</math>, so that
 
:<math>\lim_{k \to \infty}J_{m_i}^k=0\ \forall i</math>
 
which implies
 
:<math>\lim_{k \to \infty}J^k = 0.</math>
 
Therefore,
 
:<math>\lim_{k \to \infty}A^k=\lim_{k \to \infty}VJ^kV^{-1}=V(\lim_{k \to \infty}J^k)V^{-1}=0</math>
 
On the other side, if <math>\rho(A)>1</math>, there is at least one element in <math>J</math> which doesn't remain bounded as k increases, so proving the second part of the statement. <math>\square</math>
 
==Theorem (Gelfand's formula, 1941)==
For any [[matrix norm]] ||·||, we have
 
:<math>\rho(A)=\lim_{k \to \infty}\|A^k\|^{1/k}.</math>
 
In other words, Gelfand's formula shows how the spectral radius of ''A'' gives the asymptotic growth rate of the norm of ''A''<sup>''k''</sup>:
 
:<math>\|A^k\|\sim\rho(A)^k</math> for <math>k\rightarrow \infty.\,</math>
 
''Proof'': For any ε > 0, consider the matrix
 
:<math>\tilde{A}=(\rho(A)+\epsilon)^{-1}A.</math>
 
Then, obviously,
 
:<math>\rho(\tilde{A}) = \frac{\rho(A)}{\rho(A)+\epsilon} < 1</math>
 
and, by the previous theorem,
 
:<math>\lim_{k \to \infty}\tilde{A}^k=0.</math>
 
That means, by the sequence limit definition, a natural number ''N<sub>1</sub>'' ∈ '''N''' exists such that
 
:<math>\forall k\geq N_1 \Rightarrow \|\tilde{A}^k\| < 1</math>
 
which in turn means:
 
:<math>\forall k\geq N_1 \Rightarrow \|A^k\| < (\rho(A)+\epsilon)^k</math>
 
or
 
:<math>\forall k\geq N_1 \Rightarrow \|A^k\|^{1/k} < (\rho(A)+\epsilon).</math>
 
Let's now consider the matrix
 
:<math>\check{A}=(\rho(A)-\epsilon)^{-1}A.</math>
 
Then, obviously,
 
:<math>\rho(\check{A}) = \frac{\rho(A)}{\rho(A)-\epsilon} > 1</math>
 
and so, by the previous theorem,<math>\|\check{A}^k\|</math> is not bounded.
 
This means a natural number ''N<sub>2</sub>'' ∈ '''N''' exists such that
 
:<math>\forall k\geq N_2 \Rightarrow \|\check{A}^k\| > 1</math>
 
which in turn means:
 
:<math>\forall k\geq N_2 \Rightarrow \|A^k\| > (\rho(A)-\epsilon)^k</math>
 
or
 
:<math>\forall k\geq N_2 \Rightarrow \|A^k\|^{1/k} > (\rho(A)-\epsilon).</math>
 
Taking
 
:<math>N:=\max(N_1,N_2)</math>
 
and putting it all together, we obtain:
 
:<math>\forall \epsilon>0, \exists N\in\mathbb{N}: \forall k\geq N \Rightarrow \rho(A)-\epsilon < \|A^k\|^{1/k} < \rho(A)+\epsilon</math>
 
which, by definition, is
 
:<math>\lim_{k \to \infty}\|A^k\|^{1/k} = \rho(A).\,\,\square</math>
 
Gelfand's formula leads directly to a bound on the spectral radius of a product of finitely many matrices, namely assuming that they all commute we obtain
<math>
\rho(A_1 A_2 \ldots A_n) \leq \rho(A_1) \rho(A_2)\ldots \rho(A_n).
</math>
 
Actually, in case the norm is [[matrix norm|consistent]], the proof shows more than the thesis; in fact, using the previous lemma, we can replace in the limit definition the left lower bound with the spectral radius itself and write more precisely:
 
::<math>\forall \epsilon>0, \exists N\in\mathbb{N}: \forall k\geq N \Rightarrow \rho(A) \leq \|A^k\|^{1/k} < \rho(A)+\epsilon</math>
 
:which, by definition, is
 
:<math>\lim_{k \to \infty}\|A^k\|^{1/k} = \rho(A)^+.</math>
 
'''Example''': Let's consider the matrix
:<math>A=\begin{bmatrix}
9 & -1 & 2\\
-2 & 8 & 4\\
1 & 1 & 8
\end{bmatrix}</math>
 
whose eigenvalues are 5, 10, 10; by definition, its spectral radius is ρ(''A'')=10. In the following table, the values of <math>\|A^k\|^{1/k}</math> for the four most used norms are listed versus several increasing values of k (note that, due to the particular form of this matrix,<math>\|.\|_1=\|.\|_\infty</math>):

==Bounded linear operators==
For a [[bounded linear operator]] ''A'' and the [[operator norm]] ||·||, again we have
 
:<math>\rho(A) = \lim_{k \to \infty}\|A^k\|^{1/k}.</math>
 
A bounded operator (on a complex Hilbert space) called a '''spectraloid operator''' if its spectral radius coincides with its [[numerical radius]]. An example of such an operator is a [[normal operator]].
 
==Graphs==
The spectral radius of a finite [[graph (mathematics)|graph]] is defined to be the spectral radius of its [[adjacency matrix]].
 
This definition extends to the case of infinite graphs with bounded degrees of vertices (i.e. there exists some real number C such that the degree of every vertex of the graph is smaller than C). In this case, for the graph <math>G</math> let <math> l^2(G) </math> denote the space of functions <math> f \colon V(G) \to {\mathbb R} </math> with <math> \sum_{v \in V(G)} \|f(v)^2\| < \infty </math>. Let <math> \gamma \colon l^2(G) \to l^2(G)</math> be the adjacency operator of <math> G </math>, i.e., <math> (\gamma f)(v) = \sum_{(u,v) \in E(G)} f(u) </math>. The spectral radius of G is defined to be the spectral radius of the bounded linear operator <math>\gamma</math>.

* The [[Joint spectral radius]] is a generalization of the spectral radius to sets of matrices.
