The limit of a matrix norm divided by a power of its spectral radius












0












$begingroup$


Let $M$ be a quadratic matrix with spectral radius $lambda$.



It is known that $lambda=lim_{n to infty} (||M^n||)^{1/n}$.



I am now interested in the limit of $frac{||M^n||}{lambda^n}$ as $n$ goes to infinity. Is there any theorem that leads me from the known fact to the solution of this?



Thanks in advance!

          There can be different cases. For example, if $M$ is the identity matrix, then the limit is $1$. If $M=begin{pmatrix}1&1\0&1end{pmatrix}$, then $lambda=1$, $M^n=begin{pmatrix}1&n\0&1end{pmatrix}$, and so the limit is $infty$. In general, the limit (if it exists at all) can be any number form $1$ to $+infty$.

            Thanks for the answer! Do you know of any condition that makes sure that the limit exists? For example in my case there exists an $N$ such that $M^N$ is positive.

If $M=begin{pmatrix}1&1\0&1end{pmatrix}$, then $lambda=1$, $M^n=begin{pmatrix}1&n\0&1end{pmatrix}$, and so the limit is $infty$. In general, the limit (if it exists at all) can be any number form $1$ to $+infty$.
