Rayleigh-Ritz majorization error bounds of the mixed type
The absolute change in the Rayleigh quotient (RQ) for a Hermitian matrix with
respect to vectors is bounded in terms of the norms of the residual vectors and
the angle between vectors in [\doi{10.1137/120884468}]. We substitute
multidimensional subspaces for the vectors and derive new bounds of absolute
changes of eigenvalues of the matrix RQ in terms of singular values of residual
matrices and principal angles between subspaces, using majorization. We show
how our results relate to bounds for eigenvalues after discarding off-diagonal
blocks or additive perturbations.Comment: 20 pages, 1 figure. Accepted to SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and

Bounds on the spectrum and reducing subspaces of a J-self-adjoint operator
Given a self-adjoint involution J on a Hilbert space H, we consider a
J-self-adjoint operator L=A+V on H where A is a possibly unbounded self-adjoint
operator commuting with J and V a bounded J-self-adjoint operator
anti-commuting with J. We establish optimal estimates on the position of the
spectrum of L with respect to the spectrum of A and we obtain norm bounds on
the operator angles between maximal uniformly definite reducing subspaces of
the unperturbed operator A and the perturbed operator L. All the bounds are
given in terms of the norm of V and the distances between pairs of disjoint
spectral sets associated with the operator L and/or the operator A. As an
example, the quantum harmonic oscillator under a PT-symmetric perturbation is
discussed. The sharp norm bounds obtained for the operator angles generalize
the celebrated Davis-Kahan trigonometric theorems to the case of J-self-adjoint
perturbations.Comment: (http://www.iumj.indiana.edu/IUMJ/FULLTEXT/2010/59/4225
Riesz Bases for p-Subordinate Perturbations of Normal Operators
For p-subordinate perturbations of unbounded normal operators, the change of
the spectrum is studied and spectral criteria for the existence of a Riesz
basis with parentheses of root vectors are established. A Riesz basis without
parentheses is obtained under an additional a priori assumption on the spectrum
of the perturbed operator. The results are applied to two classes of block
operator matrices.Comment: 30 pages, 4 figures, submitted to J. Funct. Ana
Bounds on changes in Ritz values for a perturbed invariant subspace of a Hermitian matrix
The Rayleigh-Ritz method is widely used for eigenvalue approximation. Given a
matrix with columns that form an orthonormal basis for a subspace \X, and
a Hermitian matrix , the eigenvalues of are called Ritz values of
with respect to \X. If the subspace \X is -invariant then the Ritz
values are some of the eigenvalues of . If the -invariant subspace \X
is perturbed to give rise to another subspace \Y, then the vector of absolute
values of changes in Ritz values of represents the absolute eigenvalue
approximation error using \Y. We bound the error in terms of principal angles
between \X and \Y. We capitalize on ideas from a recent paper [DOI:
10.1137/060649070] by A. Knyazev and M. Argentati, where the vector of absolute
values of differences between Ritz values for subspaces \X and \Y was
weakly (sub-)majorized by a constant times the sine of the vector of principal
angles between \X and \Y, the constant being the spread of the spectrum of
. In that result no assumption was made on either subspace being
-invariant. It was conjectured there that if one of the trial subspaces is
-invariant then an analogous weak majorization bound should only involve
terms of the order of sine squared. Here we confirm this conjecture.
Specifically we prove that the absolute eigenvalue error is weakly majorized by
a constant times the sine squared of the vector of principal angles between the
subspaces \X and \Y, where the constant is proportional to the spread of
the spectrum of . For many practical cases we show that the proportionality
factor is simply one, and that this bound is sharp. For the general case we can
only prove the result with a slightly larger constant, which we believe is
artificial.Comment: 12 pages. Accepted to SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and

Sharp error bounds for Ritz vectors and approximate singular vectors
We derive sharp bounds for the accuracy of approximate eigenvectors (Ritz
vectors) obtained by the Rayleigh-Ritz process for symmetric eigenvalue
problems. Using information that is available or easy to estimate, our bounds
improve the classical Davis-Kahan theorem by a factor that can be
arbitrarily large, and can give nontrivial information even when the
theorem suggests that a Ritz vector might have no accuracy at all.
We also present extensions in three directions, deriving error bounds for
invariant subspaces, singular vectors and subspaces computed by a
(Petrov-Galerkin) projection SVD method, and eigenvectors of self-adjoint
operators on a Hilbert space
