Abstract

A spectral characterization is obtained for those normal operators which belong to the convex hull of the unitary orbit of a given normal operator on a finite-dimensional space. This is used to prove the following: if A and B are normal operators on an n-dimensional complex Hilbert space H with eigenvalues given by α1,....,αn and β1,....,βn respectively, and if A-B is also normal, then ||A-B||≤maxσεSn||diag(αkσ(k))|| for any unitarily invariant norm on L(H).
