Abstract
We introduce the notion of a "short normal path" between matrices S and T, that is, a continuous path from S to T consisting of normal matrices and having the same length as the straight line path from S to T. By this means we prove that for certain normal matrices S and T the eigenvalues of S and T may be paired in such a way that the maximum distance (in the complex plane) between the pairs is no more than the operator norm ||S-T||. In particular, we generalize and provide a new approach to a recent result of Bhatia and Davis treating the case of unitary S and T.
