A lower bound for the smallest singular value. (English) Zbl 0768.15012
The authors obtain a lower bound for the smallest singular value of a square complex matrix $$A$$ in terms of the determinant and the 2-norm of the columns and rows of $$A$$. Examples are given to show that this bound works well for certain classes of matrices.
