Abstract

ABSTRACT Let A be a square matrix and let Ω be an open set in the plane containing the spectrum of A. We consider the problem of maximizing the operator norm amongst all holomorphic functions f from Ω into the closed unit disk. If is extremal for this problem and if , then it turns out that the matrix has special properties, among them the fact that its principal left and right singular vectors are mutually orthogonal. We study this class of exceptional matrices . In particular, we are interested in the extent to which they are characterized by the aforementioned orthogonality property.
