On accuracy of approximation of the spectral radius by the Gelfand formula

Abstract

The famous Gelfand formula $\rho (A)={\mathrm{limsup}}_{n\to \infty }\Vert A^n{\Vert }^{1/n}$ for the spectral radius of a matrix is of great importance in various mathematical constructions. Unfortunately, the range of applicability of this formula is substantially restricted by a lack of estimates for the rate of convergence of the quantities $\Vert A^n{\Vert }^{1/n}$ to $\rho (A)$. In the paper this deficiency is made up to some extent. By using the Bochi inequalities we establish explicit computable estimates for the rate of convergence of the quantities $\Vert A^n{\Vert }^{1/n}$ to $\rho (A)$. The obtained estimates are then extended for evaluation of the joint spectral radius of matrix sets.
