The condition numbers CN(T) = ∥T∥ · ∥T−1∥ of Toeplitz and analytic n × n matrices T are studied. It is shown that the supremum of CN(T) over all such matrices with ∥T∥ ≤ 1 and the given minimum of eigenvalues r = min |λi| > 0 behaves as the corresponding supremum over all n × n matrices (i.e., as \(\frac{1}{{r^n }}\) (Kronecker)), and this equivalence is uniform in n and r. The proof is based on a use of the Sarason-Sz.Nagy-Foias commutant lifting theorem. Bibliography: 2 titles.
