Complexity of a variant of the max word problem. NP-complete?
If you allow the repetition of matrices, i.e. there exists $ 1 \leq i < j \leq n $ s.t. $ A_i =A_j $, then your problem is actually undecidable. … Each word, say $w \in \Sigma^*$, corresponds to a sequence of the matrices from $ \{A_{\sigma \in \Sigma}\} $ by allowing repetition, and vice versa. …

Complexity of a variant of the max word problem. NP-complete?
If the number of matrices is fixed (i.e., given a part of the input), then the problem was shown to be NP-complete in The complexity of the max word problem and the power of one-way interactive proof systems … The first paragraph from the technical report is as follows:
Moreover, the quantified max word problem for matrices was recently introduced and shown to be PSPACE-complete by Demirci, Say, and Yakaryilmaz …
