May 1, 2020 at 14:26 comment added DSM Any luck using the explicit solution for a Lyapunov Equation? For $AX+XA^\top=-Q$, $Q\succeq 0$, the unique solution is $X = \int_{0}^{\infty}e^{A^\top t}Qe^{At}dt$. If one chooses $Q=\mbox{diag}(-\mbox{real}(\lambda_i))$, $tr(AX)=-tr(Q)/2=-1/2$. But then I am only able to show $X\leq \beta^2 ||F||||F^{-1}|| I$, where $A=FJF^{-1}$ and $\beta$ is such that $||e^{Jt}||\leq \beta e^{\sigma t}$.
Oct 1, 2018 at 2:00 comment added Toni Mhax ok then so if we take $A$ in this form can a diagonal $X$ do the constraint $AX+XA^T$ it got to have a $1/2$ term on its diagonal we are in dimension $2$.
Sep 30, 2018 at 21:04 comment added Ludwig In the $2\times 2$ case I don't think it is possible to find such a matrix $A$. Indeed, in case $A+A^\top\not<0$, by virtue of the Schur-Horn Theorem, there always exists an orthogonal matrix $U$ such that $U^\top A U$ has one diagonal entry equal to $\mathrm{tr}(A)$ and the other entry equal to zero.

Sep 30, 2018 at 20:40 comment added Toni Mhax Try to find $A+A^T$ a $2\times 2$ matrix having one positive eignevalue at least and such that $U^*AU$ has strictly negative diagonal for all unitary $U$, the counter example is equivalent to that.
Sep 30, 2018 at 20:22 comment added Ludwig Yes, I think it is more complicated than that. However, if you manage to find an explicit counterexample, please let me know.
Sep 30, 2018 at 20:20 comment added Toni Mhax Or it is more complicated
Sep 30, 2018 at 20:09 comment added Toni Mhax Pick $A$ with strictly negative diagonal and $A+A^T$ having some positive eigenvalue, just that.
Sep 30, 2018 at 18:12 comment added Ludwig Thanks for your comment. I see your point, however I couldn't find any numerical counterexample yet (I've run an extensive number of random numerical simulation for $n=2,3,\dots,10$). If you have some ideas about how to construct such a counterexample, please let me know.
