Pseudospectra provide an analytical and graphical alternative for investigating nonnormal matrices and operators, give a quantitative estimate of departure from non-normality and give information about stability. In this paper, we prove that pseudospectral radius is sub-additive and sub-multiplicative for a commuting pair of matrices over the complex field, extending the same result for spectral radius. We discuss the same result for a non-commutative pair of matrices. We also give an analogue of the spectral radius formula for pseudospectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
