Hölder's inequality for matrices

I was wondering if the Hölder's inequality was true for matrix induced norms, i.e. if $$\|AB\|_1 \leq \|A\|_p\|B\|_q, \quad\forall p,q \in [1,\infty] \text{ s.t. } \tfrac{1}{p}+\tfrac{1}{q} = 1.$$ But ...

Bounding the matrix norm of a commutator $[A,B]$ in terms of the norms of $A$ and $B$

The setup is as in this question: Given a norm $N$ over ${\bf M}_n(\mathbb C)$, it is a natural question to find the best constant $C_N$ such that $$N([A,B])\le C_N N(A)N(B),\qquad\forall A,B\in{\bf M}...

Bounding the trace of a matrix product by the operator norms; generalized Hölder inequality?

$\DeclareMathOperator\Tr{Tr}$Let $A_i$ with $i=1,\dotsc,N$ and $p$ be real $M\times M$ matrices. Further, let $p$ be positive definite, i.e., $p\succ 0$, with $\Tr(p)=1$. Let $0< a_i<1$ and $\...

Matrix norm inequality for C*-Algebras [closed]

Let A a $C^*$-Algebra. I have already shown that the maps $Tr, \sigma: M_n(A)\rightarrow A$ given by $Tr((a_{ij})):=\sum_{i}a_{ii}$ and $\sigma\left(\left(a_{ij}\right)\right)=\sum_{i\text{, }j}a_{ij}$...

Schatten norm inequality

Let $A,B$ be two $n\times n$ matrices. Find a lower bound of the $p$-th Schatten norm $\|(A-B)(A-B)^\ast\|_{S_{p/2}}^{1/2}$ in terms of Schatten norm of $\|(AA^*+BB^*)\|_{S_q}$ for any relation ...

Bound of spectral radius of polynomial of a complex matrix

I am trying to prove or disprove the following inequality. $$ ||P(A)||_2\leq 2 \max_{\alpha\in W(A)}| P(\alpha)|,$$ where $P(\cdot)$ is a complex polynomial, $A\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ and $W(A)...
