‎let $n$ and $k$ be two positive integers‎, ‎$kleq n$ and $a$ be an $n-$square quaternion matrix‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎some results on the $k-$numerical range of $a$ are investigated‎. ‎moreover‎, ‎the notions of $k$-numerical radius‎, ‎right $k$-spectral radius and $k$-norm of $a$ are introduced‎, ‎and some of their algebraic properties are studied‎.

X. Zhan has conjectured that the spectral radius of the Hadamard product of two square nonnegative matrices is not greater than the spectral radius of their ordinary product. We prove Zhan’s conjecture, and a related inequality for positive semidefinite matrices, using standard facts about principal submatrices, Kronecker products, and the spectral radius.

We obtain a formula for the essential spectral radius ρess of transfer-type operators associated with families of C1+δ diffeomorphisms of the line and Zygmund, or Hölder, weights acting on Banach spaces of Zygmund (respectively Hölder) functions. In the uniformly contracting case the essential spectral radius is strictly smaller than the spectral radius when the weights are positive.

In this paper, we first give a relation between the adjacency spectral radius and the Q-spectral radius of a graph. Then using this result, we further give some new sharp upper bounds on the adjacency spectral radius of a graph in terms of degrees and the average 2-degrees of vertices. Some known results are also obtained.
