Nov 3, 2010 at 18:42 comment added user6976 @Denis: Thanks for the question. I did not know this characterization of nilpotent matrices.
Nov 3, 2010 at 15:51 comment added Denis Serre When $a_{ij}=0$ for every pair such that $j-i\ne1$, we may take $B$ diagonal, in such a way that $\|B\|_2=\frac{n-1}{2}$ and $\|B\|_F=\sqrt{n\frac{n^2-1}{12}}$.

partial answer
Nov 3, 2010 at 14:55 comment added Denis Serre @Mark. First of all, I edited my question, because obviously an inequality like $\|B\|\le \mu\|A\|$ cannot hold true. Because the best $B$ is homogeneous of degree zero as a function of $A$.

Nov 3, 2010 at 14:41 comment added user6976 What is $\mu(2)$? Nilpotent matrices there are easy to describe.
