Please help with proving or disproving the statement related to vector induced norm of real symmetric matrices.

23 Views Asked by At

Consider any vector induced norm (need not be just p-norm). I need to prove or disprove that for any real symmetric matrix A and vector induced norm $||.||$,

$$ ||A|| = \rho (A) $$

where $\rho(A)$ is the spectral radius (largest eigen value in modulus).

Please provide any example if it can be disproved. Thank you.

I am disappointed with the comments. However I found an example to disprove.

$$ A=\begin{pmatrix} 2&-1\\ -1&3\\ \end{pmatrix} $$

It is easy verify that 1norm is 4 but 2norm is less than 4.
