Let \(A\) and \(B\) be nonsingular \(n \times n\) matrices. Show that \\[ \operatorname{cond}(A B) \leq \operatorname{cond}(A) \operatorname{cond}(B) \\]

Short Answer

Expert verified
The desired inequality is proved using the definition of the condition number, properties of matrix norms, and the sub-multiplicative property: \( \operatorname{cond}(AB) \leq \operatorname{cond}(A) \operatorname{cond}(B) \).

Step by step solution

01

Recall the definition of the condition number

The condition number of a matrix is defined as the product of its norm and its inverse's norm: \( \operatorname{cond}(M) = \|M\| \|M^{-1}\| \) for any nonsingular matrix M.
02

Compute the norm of the product of matrices

Recall the property, for any matrices M and N, that \( \|M N\| \leq \|M\| \|N\| \). This is known as sub-multiplicative property of matrix norms.
03

Prove the inequality

We want to prove that \( \operatorname{cond}(AB) \leq \operatorname{cond}(A) \operatorname{cond}(B) \). Let's start with calculating the condition number of the product AB: \( \operatorname{cond}(AB) = \|AB\| \| (AB)^{-1} \| \) Now, we know that the inverse of the product of matrices is the product of their inverses in reverse order: \((AB)^{-1} = B^{-1} A^{-1}\). So, we have: \( \operatorname{cond}(AB) = \|AB\| \| B^{-1} A^{-1} \| \) Using the sub-multiplicative property from Step 2, we can write: \( \|AB\| \leq \|A\| \|B\| \) and \( \| B^{-1} A^{-1} \| \leq \|B^{-1}\| \|A^{-1}\| \) Thus, we obtain: \( \operatorname{cond}(AB) = \|AB\| \| B^{-1} A^{-1} \| \leq \|A\| \|B\| \|B^{-1}\| \|A^{-1}\| \) Now, from Step 1, we know that \( \operatorname{cond}(A) = \|A\| \|A^{-1}\| \) and \( \operatorname{cond}(B) = \|B\| \|B^{-1}\| \). So, we can rewrite the above inequality as: \( \operatorname{cond}(AB) \leq \operatorname{cond}(A) \operatorname{cond}(B) \) Hence, the desired inequality is proved.
