Max-min and min-max approximation problems for normal matrices revisited

Jörg Liesen and Petr Tichý

Abstract

We give a new proof of an equality of certain max-min and min-max approximation problems involving normal matrices. The previously published proofs of this equality apply tools from matrix theory, (analytic) optimization theory, and constrained convex optimization. Our proof uses a classical characterization theorem from approximation theory and thus exploits the link between the two approximation problems with normal matrices on the one hand and approximation problems on compact sets in the complex plane on the other.
