and continue to develop spectral theory for the positive elements. If ($ a_ {n} $) is a
sequence of positive elements converging to a, then an interesting question is that of which
properties of the spectral radius r (a) of a are'inherited'by $ r (a_ {n}) $. We show that under
suitable circumstances if r (a) is a Riesz point of the spectrum σ (a) of a (relative to some
inessential ideal), then $ r (a_ {n})\rightarrow r (a) $ and, for all n big enough, $ r (a_ {n}) $ is …
