Theorem 33: the rate bound #
Proof of Theorem 33 of the Survey (Lovász 1993, Theorem 5.1) for a graph without isolated nodes.
The vector s = √π is a unit eigenvector of N = D^{-1/2} A D^{-1/2} for the eigenvalue 1;
the quadratic form of N is bounded by the squared norm (|ab| ≤ (a² + b²)/2 on every edge),
so every eigenvalue has |μ| ≤ 1; by the sorting of eigenvalues₀, at most one eigenvalue (the
largest) has |μ| > λ. The spectral lemmas of Averaging.RateSpectral then give
|Nᵗ(u, v) - s(u) s(v)| ≤ λᵗ, and Pᵗ = D^{-1/2} Nᵗ D^{1/2} turns this into
|Pᵗ(u, v) - π(v)| ≤ √(d(v)/d(u)) λᵗ.
The vector s = √π, a unit eigenvector of N for the eigenvalue 1.
