Minimize trace of $A$ given that $A−N$ is positive semi-definite and $A$ is diagonal
begin{array}{ll} text{minimize} & mbox{tr} (mathrm A)\ text{subject to} & mathrm A - mathrm N succeq mathrm O_nend{array} where $A$ and $N$ are pd matrices, and $A$ is diagonal.
There is a related post: Minimize trace of $A$ given that $A-N$ is positive semi-definite. . However, in that case $A$ is not diagonal thus, $tr(A)=tr(N)$ is possible, while in current case not.
For $Ain mathbb{R}^{2times2}$, I believe $min tr(A)=sum n_{ij}$, however for $Ain mathbb{R}^{3times3}$ we have inequality $min tr(A)leqsum n_{ij}$. Can you please help with analytical approach so solve it

$A =lambda_{max}(N)I$ is feasible, so $n lambda_{max}(N)$ is an obvious bound. I do not see an easy way to get a tighter bound.

If $N=begin{bmatrix}3 & 1 & -1\1 & 2 &1 \-1 & 1 &2end{bmatrix}>0$, then $nlambda_{max}(N)=11.1963$. Let $A=begin{bmatrix}4 & & \ & 3 & \ & &3end{bmatrix}$, then $A-Ngeq 0$ and $trace(A)=10$

if $A=begin{bmatrix}4 & & \ & 3 & \ & &2end{bmatrix}$, then again $A-Ngeq 0$ and $trace(A)=9$. I think this is minimum, but I don't have a proof
