Spectral radius of sum of commuting operators
Prove that if two operators on a Hilbert space commute then the spectral radius of their sum is at most the sum of their spectral radii.
I tried to use Gelfand's formula along with the binomial formula to get somehow bound $|(A+B)^n|^{1/n}$ by $|A^k|^{1/k}+|A^l|^{1/l}$ where $l,k$ are functions of $n$ but have not been able to make progress yet.

The spectral radius remains unchanged when calculating it in the closed sub-algebra.
So let's calculate the spectral radius in the unital abelian Banach algebra $mathscr B$ generated by $A$ and $B$.
begin{align*}sigma(A+B) & ={tau(A+B)|tau mbox{ is a character of } mathscr B}\ & = {tau(A)+tau(B)|tau mbox{ is a character of }mathscr B}\ & subset sigma(A)+sigma(B).end{align*}
It follows what you want.
Actually we haven't covered Banach algebras, so I am unable to understand the proof. I was hoping for a proof using Gelfand's formula..
