Abstract
- The recursively-constructed family of Mandelbrot matrices $M_n$ for $n=1$, $2$, $\ldots$ have nonnegative entries (indeed just $0$ and $1$, so each $M_n$ can be called a binary matrix) and have eigenvalues whose negatives $-\lambda = c$ give periodic orbits under the Mandelbrot iteration, namely $z_k = z_{k-1}^2+c$ with $z_0=0$, and are thus contained in the Mandelbrot set. By the Perron--Frobenius theorem, the matrices $M_n$ have a dominant real positive eigenvalue, which we call $\rho_n$. This article examines the eigenvector belonging to that dominant eigenvalue and its fractal-like structure, and similarly examines (with less success) the dominant singular vectors of $M_n$ from the singular value decomposition.<br />Comment: 20 pages; 15 figures
