Abstract: Let

be a tuple of real

d i m e s d

matrices. Under certain irreducibility assumptions, we give checkable criteria for deciding whether

possesses the following property: there exist two constants

l a m b d a i n B b b R

and

C > 0

such that for any

n i n B b b N

and any

i_{1}, l d o t s, i_{n} i n 1, l d o t s, k

, either

or

C^{- 1} e^{l a m b d a n} l e q | M_{i_{1}} c d o t s M_{i_{n}} | l e q C e^{l a m b d a n}

, where

| c d o t |

is a matrix norm. The proof is based on symbolic dynamics and the thermodynamic formalism for matrix products. As applications, we are able to check the absolute continuity of a class of overlapping self-similar measures on

B b b R

, the absolute continuity of certain self-affine measures in

{B b b R}^{d}

and the dimensional regularity of a class of sofic affine-invariant sets in the plane.
