On the max version of the generalized spectral radius theorem (Q2483267)

The generalized spectral radius theorem states that the generalized spectral radius and the joint spectral radius of a bounded set of square complex matrices coincide. A max algebra version of the generalized spectral radius theorem was proposed by \textit{Y.-Y. Lur} [Linear Algebra Appl. 418, No. 1, 336--346 (2006; Zbl 1108.15009)]. This paper gives a short proof of it by generalizing a result about the relationship between the maximum circuit geometric mean and Hadamard powers of a matrix, which was proved by \textit{S. Friedland} [Linear Algebra Appl. 74, 173--178 (1986; Zbl 0588.15015)].
