Tldr The paper studies the Frobenius distance matrix nearness problem on a closed set of complex matrices. We solve two open problems: normal matrices and those with eigenvalues in the left half-plane, showing that real inputs admit real solutions in neither case for $n \geq 3$, while proving some further results for more general target sets.
