one norm of column stochastic matrix

42 Views Asked by At

If $A$ and $B$ are both column stochastic matrix with positive entries only, then $\|A\|_1=1, \|B\|_1=1$, could anyone tell me why $\|A-B\|_1\le 2$?

Thanks a lot.

By the triangle inequality, we have $\|A-B\|_1\le \|A\|_1 + \|B\|_1 = 1 + 1 = 2.$
