Spectral radius

In mathematics, the spectral radius of a square matrix is the maximum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues.[1] More generally, the spectral radius of a bounded linear operator is the supremum of the absolute values of the elements of its spectrum. The spectral radius is often denoted by ρ(·).
