Abstract:
Let ‖·‖ be a norm on the algebra ?n of all n × n matrices over ?. An interesting problem in matrix theory is that “Are there two norms ‖·‖1 and ‖·‖2 on ?n such that ‖A‖ = max|‖Ax‖2: ‖x‖1 = 1} for all A ∈ ?n?” We will investigate this problem and its various aspects and will discuss some conditions under which ‖·‖1 = ‖·‖2.
