Sum of $k$ smallest singular values












3












$begingroup$


The $k$th Ky Fan norm $lVertcdotrVert_{(k)}$ is defined as the sum of the $k$ largest singular values. Furthermore, for an $mtimes n$ matrix $A$
$$
lVert ArVert_{(k)} = max_{UU^*=VV^*=I_k}|text{tr}(UAV)|.
$$

For Hermitian matrices the sum of the $k$ smallest eigenvalues, denoted $E_k(H)$, is
$$
E_k(H) = min_{UU^*=I_k}text{tr}(UHU^*),
$$

so I was wondering if the sum of the $k$ smallest singular values $S_k(A)$ for a matrix $A$ can be written
$$
S_k(A) = min_{UU^*=VV^*=I_k}|text{tr}(UAV)|.
$$

As I have not seen this expression I thought that perhaps it is not true, and that the argument used for the two previous examples fails at some point. Could anyone shed some light on this?
