Abstract: In numerical analysis it is often necessary to estimate the condition number CN(T)=||T||cdot||T1|| and the norm of the resolvent ||(zetaT)1|| of a given nimesn matrix T. We derive new spectral estimates for these quantities and compute explicit matrices that achieve our bounds. We recover the well-known fact that the supremum of CN(T) over all matrices with ||T||leq1 and minimal absolute eigenvalue r=mini=1,...,n|lambdai|>0 is the Kronecker bound frac1rn. This result is subsequently generalized by computing the corresponding supremum of ||(zetaT)1|| for any |zeta|leq1. We find that the supremum is attained by a triangular Toeplitz matrix. This provides a simple class of structured matrices on which condition numbers and resolvent norm bounds can be studied numerically. The occuring Toeplitz matrices are so-called model matrices, i.e. matrix representations of the compressed backward shift operator on the Hardy space H2 to a finite-dimensional invariant subspace.
