An inequality of matrix norm












3












$begingroup$


Let $V,W$ be complex inner product spaces. Suppose $T: V to W$ is a linear map, then we define
$$|T|:=sup{|Tv|_{W}:|v|_{V}=1}$$ where $|v_{V}|:=sqrt{langle v,vrangle}$ and $|Tv|_{W}:=sqrt{langle Tv,Tvrangle}$.



Question: Suppose $U_1,ldots,U_k$ and $V_1,ldots,V_k$ are $n {times} n$ unitary matrices. Show that
$$|U_1cdots U_k-V_1cdots V_k| leq sum_{i=1}^{k}|U_i-V_i|$$



I have tried to use triangle inequality for norms and induction but failed. Can anyone give some hints? Thank you!

          $begingroup$

          For $k = 1$, the inequality becomes an identity. So, start with the special case $k = 2$:
          $$
          begin{array}{ll}
          & ||U_1 U_2 - V_1 V_2||\ \
          = & ||U_1 U_2 - V_1 U_2 + V_1 U_2 - V_1 V_2||\ \
          = &
          || ( U_1 - V_1) U_2 + V_1 (U_2 - V_2) || \ \
          leq & ||( U_1 - V_1) U_2 || + ||V_1 (U_2 - V_2) ||.\
          end{array}
          $$
          (The last inequality is the triangle inequality.) Now, since $U_2$ is unitary, we have $||U_{2}|| = 1$, so
          $$
          || ( U_1 - V_1) U_2 || leq || U_1 - V_1 ||.
          $$
          A similar bound obtains for $||V_1 (U_2 - V_2) ||$.



          This should give you enough "building blocks".:)
