Weighted \(l_ \infty\) norms for matrices (Q1330004)

Let \(W = (w_{ij})\) be a fixed \(n \times n\) matrix of positive entries. The \(W\)-weighted \(l_ \infty\) norm is defined by \(\| A \|_{W, \infty} = \max_{i,j} | w_{ij} a_{ij} |\) for \(A = (a_{ij})\). The authors prove that for this norm multiplicativity, strong stability and quadrativity are each equivalent to the condition \((W_{-1})^ 2 \leq W_{-1}\), where \(W_{-1}\) is the Hadamard inverse of \(W\).
