How to show $sqrt{text{Tr}(A^2)} leq text{Tr}(A)$?












2












$begingroup$


Let $A$ be a positive semi-definite matrix. How to show that Frobenius norm is less than trace of the matrix? Formally,
$$sqrt{text{Tr}(A^2)} leq text{Tr}(A)$$
Also, show when $A$ is an $n times m$ the following is true
$$sqrt{text{Tr}(A^TA)} leq |A|_*$$
where $|cdot|_*$ is nuclear norm which is the summation of the singular values.

          For the first you can assume that $A$ is diagonal with diagonal entries
          $a_1,ldots,a_n$, all $ge0$. Then your inequality becomes
          $$sum_{i=1}^n a_i^2leleft(sum_{i=1}^n a_iright)^2$$
          which is clearly true on expanding the right side, recalling all variables
          are non-negative.

          Let $sigma_1, ldots, sigma_r$ be the singular values of $A$.
          Then
          $$sqrt{text{Tr}(A^top A)} = sqrt{sum_i sigma^2_r} le sum_i |sigma_r| = |A|_*.$$
