NumericalMethods[SpectralRadius] - finds the spectral radius of the given matrix

Calling Sequence
    SpectralRadius(A)

Parameters
    A - matrix; a square matrix.

Description
The SpectralRadius commands find the spectral radius of the given matrix using the Eigenvalue command from the LinearAlgebra package. Its sole purpose is to offer this capability in a basic way for a user who wants to have all tools handy in one package (or does not have an access to Student[NumericalAnalysis] package, for instance when using Maple 9.5).

This command is part of the NumericalMethods package, so it can be used in the form SpectralRadius(..) only after executing the command with(NumericalMethods). However, it can always be accessed through the long form of the command by using NumericalMethods[SpectralRadius](..).

Examples

> A:=<<3,2>|<1,2>>;

> SpectralRadius(A);
