The spectral variation for two matrices with spectra on two intersecting lines (Q1208280)

The author proves that for \(n\times n\) normal matrices \(A\), \(B\) the spectral distance between \(A\), \(B\) is bounded from above by the spectral norm of \(A-B\) provided that in the complex plane, the eigenvalues of \(A\) lie on a straight line, and the eigenvalues of \(B\) lie on a ray with initial point on this line.
