Independent-class blow-ups and the limit of normalized graph Ky Fan maxima.
Definition 1.1 (Independent-class blow-up matrix).

Commentary.
The matrix replaces each entry of A by a constant square block of order t. For an adjacency matrix, each vertex is replaced by t independent vertices, and each original edge becomes a complete bipartite graph.

Commentary.
For positive t, the maximum at order mt is at least t times the Ky Fan sum of G. Truncate the prefix at the original dimension when necessary. Repeat each coordinate of an attaining signed orthonormal family t times and divide by sqrt(t). Inner products remain unchanged, and the adjacency operator scales its pairing by t.

Commentary.
For m at most n, the maximum at order m is no larger than that at order n. Embed the graph, add isolated vertices, and extend every vector of an attaining signed family by zero.

Commentary.
Taking a graph that attains the finite maximum yields xi(k,mt) at least t times xi(k,m), provided t is positive.

Commentary.
The value is the supremum of xi(k,m)/m over all orders m at least k, expressed by the index m+k.

Commentary.
For every positive k, xi(k,n)/n converges to its supremum over orders at least k. The universal zero-one matrix bound bounds this supremum by (1+sqrt(k))/2. For a fixed order m, use floor(n/m) copies of each vertex and fill the remaining positions with isolated vertices. The resulting lower bound is (1-(n mod m)/n) times xi(k,m)/m. The remainder ratio tends to zero. Taking m with normalized maximum above any chosen lower threshold proves the lower limit bound; the supremum gives the upper bound.
