On fixed point linear equations

By means of successive partial substitutions it is possible to obtain new fixed point linear equations from old ones and it is interesting to determine how the spectral radius of the corresponding matrices varies. We prove that, when the original matrix is nonnegative, this variation is decreasing o...

Sumario:By means of successive partial substitutions it is possible to obtain new fixed point linear equations from old ones and it is interesting to determine how the spectral radius of the corresponding matrices varies. We prove that, when the original matrix is nonnegative, this variation is decreasing or increasing, depending on whether the original matrix has its spectral radius smaller or greater than 1. We answer in this way a question posed by F. Robert in [5]. © 1981 Springer-Verlag.
