Dual operator norms and the spectra of matrices (Q759818)

Let \(\| \cdot \|\) be a norm on the complex \(n\times n\) matrices which is subordinate to a norm \(| \cdot |\) on \(C^ n\). Let \(\| \cdot \|^ D\) be the norm dual to \(\| \cdot \|\) on the \(n\times n\) matrices. It is well known that if \(| \cdot |\) is the Euclidean norm then A is normal if and only if \(\| A\|^ D=\sum^{n}_{i=1}| \lambda_ i(A)|\) where \(\{\lambda_ i(A)\}\) denotes the n eigenvalues of A. Hence it might be interesting to know what happens with other norms on \(C^ n\), - but: The author shows that if \(\| A\|^ D\geq \sum^{n}_{i=1}| \lambda_ i(A)|\) then \(\| \cdot \|\) is subordinate to the Euclidean norm.
