%0 Journal Article %T Bounds for the spectral radius of nonnegative matrices %A Rundan Xing %A Bo Zhou %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X We give upper and lower bounds for the spectral radius of a nonnegative matrix by using its average 2-row sums, and characterize the equality cases if the matrix is irreducible. We also apply these bounds to various nonnegative matrices associated with a graph, including the adjacency matrix, the signless Laplacian matrix, the distance matrix, the distance signless Laplacian matrix, and the reciprocal distance matrix. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.5604v1
