An inequality related to Problem 10210 AMM 1992 No. 3

Problem. Let $A$ be a $N \times N$ real matrix whose $(i,j)$ entry is $a_{ij} \ge 0, \forall i, j$. Let $1$ denote $N\times 1$ all-ones vector. Prove that $$N^2 1^\top A^\top A A^\top 1 \ge (1^\top A ...

A matrix-valued analogue of a classical inequality

Let $p \geq 4$ be an even integer. In the study of variational problems in $W^{1, p}$, it is handy to know that for $a, b \in \mathbb R^d$, $$|a - b|^p \leq 2^{p - 1} (|a|^{p - 2} + |b|^{p - 2}) |a - ...

Inequality involving tensor product of orthonormal unit vectors

Let $e_1,...,e_r$ be the first $r$ standard basis of $\mathbb{R}^n, r<n$. Let $u_1,...,u_n$ be another orthonormal basis of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Let $\otimes$ be the tensor product on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and ...

What are good bounds on ratios of subdeterminants?

Let $A$ be a symmetric matrix and $A_i$ be the matrix obtained from $A$ by dropping the $i^{th}$ row and column. Then what are some good bounds on the value of $\frac{det(A_i)}{det(A)}$ ? Using the ...

Ratio sum comparison on operators

It is known by the Lidskii inequality, that $\sum_{i=1}^n \left|s_i(S)-s_i(T)\right|\le\sum_{i=1}^n s_i(S+T)$, where $s_i(S)$ is the $i$-th singular value of $S$. How would one prove that $$\sum_{i=1}^...

On an eigenvalue inequality

Let $\lambda_1 (\cdot)$ be the larger absolute value eigenvalue of a $2\times2$ matrix and $\lambda_2 (\cdot)$ the smaller absolute value eigenvalue of a $2\times2$ matrix, i.e. $|\lambda_1 (\cdot)| \...

A singular value inequality

Let $s_1,s_2: \mathbb{R}^{2\times 2} \mapsto \mathbb{R}_+$, $s_{1}\left(\cdot\right)\ge s_{2}\left(\cdot\right)\ge 0$, be the singular values of a $2\times2$ matrix. Is it true that $$\left|s_{1}\...
