Summary: The paper presents lower bounds for the spectral radii of refinement and subdivision operators with continuous matrix symbols and with dilations from a class of isotropic matrices. This class contains the main dilation matrices used in wavelet analysis. After obtaining general formulas, two kinds of estimates for the spectral radii are established: namely, estimates using point values of the symbols, as well as other ones making use of integrals on special subsets of the torus $\mathbb{T}^s$. For some symbol classes the exact value of the spectral radius of the refinement operator is found.

Keywords: Spectral radius, refinement operator, subdivision operator.
