Show the spectral radius of a matrix is smaller than 1












3














Let $hat{bf H}$ be a $phat{N}times p hat{N}$ sparse matrix consisting of $ptimes p$ blocks, where each block is of size $hat{N}timeshat{N}$. The values in $hat{bf H}$ is illustrated below (empty places are zero):




enter image description here




The infinite norm of $hat{bf H}$ is obviously 1, and I know spectral radius is no larger than any natural norm. My question is how do I prove the spectral radius of this matrix is smaller than 1?



I did a simple numerical experiment, and found the claim should hold. If $p to infty$ and $hat{N} to infty$, then the spectral radius should approach to 1.



If we fix $p = 5$ and let $hat{N}$ go from 5 to 100, we have

  • Thanks. If $hat{N}=1$ and $p=6$, then $hat{mathbf{H}} = left( {begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{rm{1}}&{}&{}&{}&{}\ {rm{1}}&{}&{rm{1}}&{}&{}&{}\ {}&{rm{1}}&{}&{rm{1}}&{}&{}\ {}&{}&{rm{1}}&{}&{rm{1}}&{}\ {}&{}&{}&{rm{1}}&{}&{rm{1}}\ {}&{}&{}&{}&{rm{1}}&{} end{array}} right)$. If $hat{N}=2$ and $p=2$, I think the matrix is $left( {begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{}&{rm{1}}&{}\ {}&{}&{rm{2}}&{}\ {}&{rm{2}}&{}&{}\ {}&{rm{1}}&{}&{} end{array}} right)$

  • Ok, perfect for the p=6 example, for the other one, I'm still confused, could you place all the zeroes ? Are the blocs diagonal ?

  • Sure. I think it is $left( {begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {rm{0}}&{rm{0}}&{rm{1}}&{rm{0}}\ {rm{0}}&{rm{0}}&{rm{2}}&{rm{0}}\ {rm{0}}&{rm{2}}&{rm{0}}&{rm{0}}\ {rm{0}}&{rm{1}}&{rm{0}}&{rm{0}} end{array}} right)$ with zeros. Looks not exactly block diagonal.
