Numerical radius of diagonal matrix.

51 Views Asked by At

I want to show, that numerical radius of the complex valued $\lambda_1, \lambda_2 $, diagonal matrix A is equal to $$max{\{\left\lvert \lambda_1 \right\rvert,\left\lvert \lambda_2 \right\rvert}\}. $$ I am able to show the inequality $$r(A)\leq max{\{\left\lvert \lambda_1 \right\rvert,\left\lvert \lambda_2 \right\rvert}\}, $$ and now to prove that they are equals I need to find some vector of norm 1, and I am not able to do it. Any approach will be appreciated!
