Subsection 9.5.1 Additional homework

Homework 9.5.1.1.

Let \| \cdot \| be matrix norm induced by a vector norm \| \cdot \| \text{.} Prove that for any A \in \Cmxm \text{,} the spectral radius, \rho( A ) satisfies \rho( A ) \leq \| A \|\text{.}

Some results in linear algebra depend on there existing a consistent matrix norm \| \cdot \| such that \| A \| \lt 1 \text{.} The following exercise implies that one can alternatively show that the spectral radius is bounded by one: \rho( A ) \lt 1\text{.}

Homework 9.5.1.2.

Given a matrix A \in \Cmxm and \epsilon \gt 0 \text{,} there exists a consistent matrix norm \| \cdot \| such that \| A \| \leq \rho( A ) + \epsilon \text{.}
