Abstract: Let $$ be a tuple of real $dimesd$ matrices. Under certain irreducibility assumptions, we give checkable criteria for deciding whether $$ possesses the following property: there exist two constants $lambdainBbbR$ and $C>0$ such that for any $ninBbbN$ and any $i_1,ldots,i_{n}in1,ldots,k$, either $$ or $C^{-1}{e}^{lambdan}leq|M_{i_1}cdots{M}_{i_n}|leqC{e}^{lambdan}$, where $|cdot|$ 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 $BbbR$, the absolute continuity of certain self-affine measures in ${BbbR}^d$ and the dimensional regularity of a class of sofic affine-invariant sets in the plane.
