Abstract
Matrix interpretations are useful for automated complexity analysis of term rewrite systems. For checking the correct application of these interpretations in automatically generated proofs, one needs a verified algorithm to determine the asymptotic growth rate of A^n for a given non-negative real matrix A.
Since the direct approach to compute the growth rate of A via algebraic numbers is quite slow, in our certifier CeTA we utilize a simple algorithm that does not require algebraic numbers. Despite the simplicity of the algorithm, its verification in Isabelle/HOL is technically interesting. For proving soundness of the algorithm, we need to formalize the Perron-Frobenius theorem. And to achieve the latter task, we establish a connection between two different Isabelle/HOL libraries on matrices, that facilitates an easy exchange of theorems between both libraries.
