Spectral Radius Inequality for Matrix Products

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The spectral radius inequality for matrix products states that for any two matrices A and B, the inequality p(AB) ≤ p(A)p(B) holds true, where p denotes the spectral radius. This conclusion is supported by various mathematical proofs and discussions within the community. The spectral radius is a critical concept in linear algebra, particularly in the analysis of matrix behavior and stability.

Hi,

Does the following inequality hold regarding the product of 2 matrices A and B: p(AB) <= p(A)p(B), where p denotes the spectral radius.

Thanks!

Have you tried anything to prove it? Intuitively why do you think it should be true?
