Nikiforov" ], "comment": "26 pages", "categories": [ "math.CO" ], "abstract": "The spectral $p$-norm of $r$-matrices generalizes the spectral $2$-norm of $2$-matrices. In 1911 Schur gave an upper bound on the spectral $2$-norm of $2$-matrices, which was extended in 1934 by Hardy, Littlewood, and Polya to $r$-matrices. Recently, Kolotilina, and independently the author, strengthened Schur's bound for $2$-matrices. The main result of this paper extends the latter result to $r$-matrices, thereby improving the result of Hardy, Littlewood, and Polya. The proof is based on new combinatorial concepts like $r$\\emph{-partite }% $r$\\emph{-matrix} and \\emph{symmetrant} of a matrix, which appear to be instrumental in the study of the spectral $p$-norm in general. Thus, another application shows that the spectral $p$-norm and the $p$-spectral radius of a symmetric nonnegative $r$-matrix are equal whenever $p\\geq r$. This result contributes to a classical area of analysis, initiated by Mazur and Orlicz around 1930. Additionally, a number of bounds are given on the $p$-spectral radius and the spectral $p$-norm of $r$-matrices and $r$-graphs.\\medskip", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-05-27T14:32:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C50", "05C65", "15A18", "15A42", "15A60", "15A69" ], "keywords": [ "spectral p-norm", "combinatorial methods", "hypermatrices", "spectral radius", "combinatorial concepts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
