I was wondering if the spectral norm is a Lipschitz function with respect to the spectral norm. How can we prove whether it is or not? In other words, is $$big| |X| - |Y| big| le L |X-Y|$$ for some $L$?

    I'm not familiar with spectral norm, but if it is a norm, can't you just use the triangle inequality to get $||X| - |Y|| leq |X - Y|$?

  • Yes. Thanks. We can use the triangle inequality.

Any norm is Lipschitz of rank 1 with respect to itself. This follows from the traingle inequality.



Since $|X| le |Y|+|X-Y|$ we have $|X| -|Y| le |X-Y|$. Reversing the roles of $X,Y$ gives $|Y| -|X| le |X-Y|$ and combining these gives $| |X|-|Y| | le |X-Y|$.
