About eigenvalue perturbation

[edit]

we left multiply with and use (2) as well as its first order variation get

or

We notice that it is the first order perturbation of the generalized Rayleigh quotient :

Eigenvector perturbation

[edit]

We left multiply (3) with for and get

We use for .

or

As the eigenvalues are simple, for

Moreover the firs order variation of ... yields We have obtained all the components of .

Perturbation of an implicit function.

[edit]

In the next paragraph, we shall use the Implicit function theorem (Statement of the theorem ); we notice that for a continuously differentiable function , with an invertible Jacobian , from a point solution of , we get solutions of with close to in the form where is a continuously differentiable function ; moreover the Jacobian of is provided by the linear system

.

As soon as the hypothesis of the theorem is satisfied, the Jacobian of may be computed with a first order expansion of , we get

; as , it is equivalent to equation .

Eigenvalue perturbation: theoretical basis

[edit]

we use the previous paragraph (Perturbation of an implicit function) with somewhat different notations suited to eigenvalue perturbation; we introduce , with

  • with

. In order to use the Implicit function theorem, we study the invertibility of the Jacobian with

. Indeed, the solution of

is


When is a simple eigenvalue, as the eigenvectors form an orthonormal basis, for any right-hand side, we have obtained one solution therefore, the Jacobian is invertible.


The implicit function theorem provides a continuously differentiable function hence the expansion with little o notation: . with

Eigenvalue sensitivity, a small example
[edit]

A simple case is ; however you can compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors with the help of online tools such as [1] (see introduction in Wikipedia WIMS) or using Sage SageMath. You get the smallest eigenvalue and an explicit computation ; more over, an associated eigenvector is ; it is not an unitary vector; so ; we get and  ; hence ; for this example , we have checked that or .

Example 2

[edit]

Suppose is the 2x2 identity matrix, any vector is an eigenvector; then is one possible eigenvector. But if one makes a small perturbation, such as

Then the eigenvectors are and ; they are constant with respect to so that is constant and does not go to zero.
