Powers of a matrix and a formula for the moduli of its eigenvalues (Q1066239): Difference between revisions

The following theorem is proved. Let the eigenvalues \(\lambda_ i\) of \(A\in {\mathbb{C}}^{n\times n}\) be arranged in the form \(| \lambda_ 1| \geq | \lambda_ 2| \geq...\geq | \lambda_ n|\) and let \(z^ n+\beta^{(k)}_{n-1} z^{n-1}+...+\beta_ 1^{(k)} z+\beta_ 0^{(\quad k)}\) be the characteristic polynomial of \(A^ k\). Then \(| \lambda_ 1 \lambda_ 2... \lambda_ i| = \limsup_{k\to \infty}| \beta^{(k)}_{n-i}\) \(|^{1/k}\), \(i=1,...,n\).
