聯合譜半徑

聯合譜半徑（joint spectral radius）為一數學名詞，是將傳統上針對矩陣的譜半徑表示法，擴展到矩陣集合的表示法。近年來此表示法已應用在許多工程領域中，也是目前研究的熱門主題。

概述

矩陣集合的聯合譜半徑是在集合中矩陣乘積的最大漸近成長率。針對有限集合（或是更廣義的緊湊集合） ${\mathcal {M}}=\{A_{1},\dots ,A_{m}\}\subset \mathbb {R} ^{n\times n},$ ，其聯合譜半徑定義如下：

\rho ({\mathcal {M}})=\lim _{k\to \infty }\max {\{\|A_{i_{1}}\cdots A_{i_{k}}\|^{1/k}:A_{i}\in {\mathcal {M}}\}}.\,

可以證明其極限存在，而且其數值不會隨所選擇的矩陣範數種類而改變（這對任何矩陣範數都成立，不過若矩陣範數有次可乘性sub-multiplicative，更容易證明）。聯合譜半徑的概念是在1960年由麻省理工學院的兩位數學家吉安-卡洛·羅塔及威廉·吉爾伯特·斯特朗發明^[1]，不過在英格麗·多貝西及傑佛瑞·拉加里亞斯（英語：Jeffrey Lagarias）的研究後，才開始受到注意^[2]，他們證明了聯合譜半徑可以用來描述特定小波函數的光滑性^[3]。之後就提出了許多相關的應用。目前已知聯合譜半徑的量值求值，不論是要計算或只是近似，在運算複雜度上都是NP困難，就算集合 ${\mathcal {M}}$ 中只有二個矩陣，其中所有非零元素都相同也是一樣^[4]。而且， $\rho \leq 1?$ 這個問題是不可判定問題^[5]。不過，近年來已對此問題有多一些的瞭解，似乎在實務上，可以計算聯合譜半徑到令人滿意的精度，而且對於一些工程及數學問題，可以有一些有趣的洞察。

計算

近似演算法

雖然在聯合譜半徑的可計算性理論上有一些負面的結果，不過已有提出一些在實務上可以良好運作的方法。目前已找到演算法，可以達到任意的精度，所需要的時間也是事先可以計算得知。這類的演算法可以視為是近似向量範數（稱為極值範數extremal norm）中的單位球^[6]。一般會將演算法分為兩類：第一類是多義範數法（polytope norm method），透過計算點的長軌跡來建構極值範數^[7]^[8]，此方法的好處是在最理想的情形下，此方法可以找到聯合譜半徑的精確值，而且可以證明這個值就是正確值。

第二種方式是用「近代最佳化技巧」（modern optimization techniques）來近似極值範數，例如橢圓範數近似（ellipsoid norm approximation）^[9]、半正定規劃^[10]^[11]、多項式平方和（英語：Polynomial SOS）^[12]、圓錐規劃（英語：Conic optimization）^[13]。這些方法的好處是容易實現，而且實務上此方式所產生的聯合譜半徑，一般來說是在最理想的範圍內。

有限性猜想

有關聯合譜半徑的可計算性，存在以下的猜想^[14]：

「針對任何有限個的矩陣集合 ${\mathcal {M}}\subset \mathbb {R} ^{n\times n},$ ，存在一個矩陣乘積 $A_{1}\dots A_{t}$ 使得

\rho ({\mathcal {M}})=\rho (A_{1}\dots A_{t})^{1/t}.

」

上式中的「 $\rho (A_{1}\dots A_{t})$ 」是指矩陣 $A_{1}\dots A_{t}$ 在傳統意義下的譜半徑。

此猜想在1995年提出，在2003年證否^[15]。在參考資料中的反例用到了進階的量度理論（measure-theoretical）概念。之後，也找到了許多的反例，包括只用到簡單組合數學性質的矩陣^[16]以及另一個用到動態系統概念的反例^[17]。近來也提出了一顯式的反例^[18]。許多相關的問題還沒有證明，例如對於成對的邏輯矩陣，此猜想是否成立^[19]^[20]。

應用

聯合譜半徑的出現，是為了作為離散時間切換動力系統的穩定性條件。而以下方程定義的系統

解析失败 (SVG（MathML可通过浏览器插件启用）：从服务器“http://localhost:6011/wiki.zwnes.eu.org/v1/”返回无效的响应（“Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.”）：): {\displaystyle x_{t+1}=A_tx_{t}, \quad A_t\in \mathcal M \, \forall t}

為李雅普諾夫穩定性若而唯若 $\rho ({\mathcal {M}})<1.$ 。

因為英格麗·多貝西及傑佛瑞·拉加里亞斯將聯合譜半徑應用在小波函數的連續性上，因此聯合譜半徑受到許多人的注意。之後的應用包括有數論、信息理論、自治代理（英語：autonomous agent）共識、字的組合數學（英語：combinatorics on words）等。
