Properties of Matrix Norms

Characterizing some properties of matrix norms

  • lemma: (one-sided) rotationally invariant matrix norm is orthogonally invariant iff reflectionally invariant
  • proposition: for matrix norms induced by vector norms
    • left rotationally invariant iff codomain uses Euclidean norm
    • right rotationally invariant iff domain uses Euclidean norm
  • proposition: for matrix norms induced by inner product
    • one-sided rotational invariance (any) implies scalar multiple of Frobenius norm implies unitarily invariant
  • theorem (Von Neumann): matrix norm unitarily invariant iff norm equals some symmetric gauge function of singular values
    • special case: all Schatten p-norms
