From the reviews: "This very interesting and well-written monograph covers both the theory and several applications of the joint spectral radius of a set of matrices, a notion which appears in different fields of mathematics ... . The monograph is made of two parts: the first addresses the theoretical aspects, while the second is focused on some applications. ... I believe the book will become a standard reference for the subject."--- (Nicola Guglielmi, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 c)
