The sign-real spectral radius ξ:Mn→R+, introduced in a 1997 paper by S.M. Rump, intervenes for instance in the problem of estimating the componentwise distance to singularity. The function ξ has also a bearing in the analysis of generalized absolute value equations and linear complementarity problems. Although ξ is not a norm, it is at least absolutely homogeneous and continuous. Furthermore, ξ is invariant under transposition, permutation similarity, and a few other linear isomorphisms on Mn. A matrix A∈Mn is called sign-real expansive if ξ(A)≥1. Let Ωn be the set of such matrices. The purpose of this work is to discover new properties of the function ξ and to explore in detail the structure of the set Ωn.en0024-37952024293324ElsevierAbsolute value equations and inequalitiesSign-real expansive matrixSign-real spectral radiusMathematicsJournal Article10.1016/j.laa.2023.10.010Journal Article
