Two applications of a bound on the Hadamard product with a Cauchy matrix (Q4383352)

For a nonsingular \(n\times n\) complex matrix \(A\) there exists unitary matrices \(V\) and \(W\) satisfying \(A=V\Sigma W^*\) where \(\Sigma=\text{diag}(\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_n)\) with positive singular values \(\sigma_i\). Let \(U(A)= VW^*\) and \(\sigma_{\min}=\min(\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_n)\). A matrix norm \(||\) is unitarily invariant if \(|A|=|YAZ|\) holds for any matrix \(A\) and arbitrary unitary matrices \(Y\) and \(Z\). It is shown (Th. 3.2.) that the following inequality \[ \begin{multlined}|(U(A)X-XU(B))\oplus(U(A)X -XU(B))|\leq \\ \leq{2\over \sigma_{\min}(A)+\sigma_{\min}(B)}|(AX-XB)\oplus(A^*X- XB^*)|\end{multlined} \] holds for every pair of nonsingular matrices \(A\) and \(B\), for every matrix \(X\) and any unitarily invariant norm \(||\). Numerous applications are given.
