Abstract: | For 1 ? p ? ∞, let , be the lp norm of an m × n complex A = (αij) ?Cm × n. The main purpose of this paper is to find, for any p, q ? 1, the best (smallest) possible constants τ(m, k, n, p, q) and σ(m, k, n, p, q) for which inequalities of the form hold for all A?Cm × k, B?Ck × n. This leads to upper bounds for inner products on Ck and for ordinary lp operator norms on Cm × n. |
