Proof involving the spectral radius and Jordan Canonical form
Announcing the arrival of Valued Associate #679: Cesar Manara
Planned maintenance scheduled April 17/18, 2019 at 00:00UTC (8:00pm US/Eastern)Spectral radius of the Volterra operatorExample that the Jordan canonical form is not “robust.”The unit vector in the direction of uWhat is the purpose of Jordan Canonical Form?Confusion between spectral radius of matrix and spectral radius of the operatorComputing the Jordan Form of a MatrixSpectral radius of perturbed bipartite graphsA proof involving invertible $ntimes n$ matricesProof of Gelfand's formula without using $rho(A) < 1$ iff $lim A^n = 0$Computing Canonical Jordan Form over a field $mathbb{Q}$
$begingroup$
Let $A$ be a square matrix. Show that if $lim_{n to infty} A^{n} = 0$, then $rho(A) < 1$. Hint: Use the Jordan Canonical form. Here, $rho(A)$ denotes the spectral radius of $A$.
I'm self-studying and have been working through a few linear algebra exercises. I'm struggling a bit in applying the hint to this problem -- I don't know where to start. Any help appreciated.

You don't really need Jordan canonical form. If $rho(A) ge 1$, $A$ has an eigenvalue $lambda$ with $|lambda| ge 1$. That eigenvalue has an eigenvector $v$. Then $A^n v = lambda^n v$, so $|A^n v| = |lambda|^n |v| ge |v|$ does not go to $0$ as $n to infty$, which is impossible if $A^n to 0$.

Hint
$$A=PJP^{-1} \
J=begin{bmatrix}
lambda_1 & * & 0 & 0 & 0 & ... & 0 \
0& lambda_2 & * & 0 & 0 & ... & 0 \
...&...&...&...&....&....&....\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0&0&...&lambda_n \
end{bmatrix}$$
where each $*$ is either $0$ or $1$.
Prove by induction that
$$J^m=begin{bmatrix}
lambda_1^m & star & star & star & star & ... & star \
0& lambda_2^m & star & star & star & ... & star \
...&...&...&...&....&....&....\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0&0&...&lambda_n^m \
end{bmatrix}$$
where the $star$s represent numbers, that is $J^m$ is an upper triangular matrix
with the $m$^th powers of the eigenvalues on the diagonal.
Note The above claim for $J^m$ is not fully using that $J$ is a Jordan cannonical form. It only uses that $J$ is upper triangular.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
So, $A^{m} = PJ^{m}P^{-1}$. If I can show what you're asking by induction, would the limit of $J^{m} = 0$? I'm sure it is because the diagonal entries are less than one, right?

@mXdX Well, that is the point. First $$lim_m J^m= lim_m P^{-1} A^m P =0$$ Now, since $lim J^m=0$ you can deduce that the diagonal entries converge to zero, meaning $lambda_j^m to 0$. This implies that $|lambda_j |<1$
