How do I compute the maximum values for ||M(q)|| and ||M_dot(q)||, the induced 2-norms, where M(q) is the mass matrix from the standard dynamical model of a robotic manipulator. I have the numerical values but not the analytical symbolic representation.

I think this is an eigenvalue problem because:
- The mass matrix can be assumed to be PSD
- The induced norm of a PSD matrix is see here $\sqrt{\lambda_{max}(A^TA)}$
So for anything but the smallest matrices, you should use iterative methods to determine the norm (i.e., there is no closed-form solution).
