We provide a sharp condition, which when satisfied, guarantees that any fixed-depth matrix recurrence relation defined over a product (with respect to matrix multiplication) will converge to the zero matrix. We also show that the same statement applies to matrix recurrence relations defined over a Kronecker product. Lastly, we show that the dual of this condition, which remains sharp, guarantees the divergence of matrix recurrence relations defined over a consecutive Kronecker product. These results completely determine the stability of nontrivial fixed-depth complex-valued recurrence relations defined over a consecutive product.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-08-22T18:07:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B37", "11B39", "15A24" ], "keywords": [ "kronecker product", "nontrivial fixed-depth complex-valued recurrence relations", "matrix multiplication", "fixed-depth matrix recurrence relation", "construct matrix sequences" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
