On the generalized spectral subradius (Q2568400)

For \(m\geq 1\), let \(\Sigma^m\) be the set of all products of length \(m\) of square complex matrices of some order \(k\). Let \(\rho(A)\) and \(\| A\| \) be, respectively, the spectral radius and a matrix norm of a matrix \(A\). In this note the author proves that the joint and the generalized spectral subradius are equal to infimum limits of \(\inf_{A\in\Sigma^m}\| A\| ^{\frac{1}{m}}\) and \(\inf_{A\in\Sigma^m}\rho^{\frac{1}{m}}(A)\). This generalizes to the case of infinite set of matrices a formula due to \textit{L. Gurvits} [Linear Algebra Appl. 231, 47--85 (1995; Zbl 0845.68067)]. A new definition of stability of discrete linear inclusions is proposed.
