This volume contains the proceedings of the Conference on Spectral Theory and Partial Differential Equations, held from June 17-21, 2013, at the University of California, Los Angeles, California, in honor of James Ralston's 70th Birthday. Papers in this volume cover important topics in spectral theory and partial differential equations such as inverse problems, both analytical and algebraic; minimal partitions and Pleijel's Theorem; spectral theory for a model in Quantum Field Theory; and beams on Zoll manifolds.
The spectral radius is considered to be an asymptotic measure of convergence because it predicts the worst-case error reduction over many iterations. It can be shown [9, 20] that, in any vector norm, p(R) : llRmlll/mTherefore, ...
