Key Concepts

Power Series of Matrices

This concept extends the idea of a power series from scalars to matrices. Each term in the series involves a matrix raised to a power, and the convergence of the series depends on the norms of these matrices. Knowing how to bound the entries of a matrix helps in estimating the terms of such series and thereby in bounding their radius of convergence.

Cauchy-Hadamard Theorem

This theorem provides a method to compute the radius of convergence of a power series. It relates the radius of convergence to the limit superior of the nth root of the absolute values (or norms) of the coefficients. In the context of matrices, an analogous approach is used by considering matrix norms to estimate the convergence radius of matrix power series.

Radius of Convergence

This is the distance within which a power series converges. For a series of matrices, the radius of convergence is defined similarly to the scalar case, and it specifies the range of values for which the infinite series yields a convergent matrix sum. It is typically determined by examining the limit superior of the nth root of the norms of the coefficients of the series.

Matrix Norm

A matrix norm provides a measure of the size or magnitude of a matrix. One common way to define a bound for the entries of a matrix is by taking the largest absolute value among its entries. This maximum-entry norm can be used to give an upper bound on other norms and is useful in analyzing the convergence of series involving matrices.
