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

Metal-Insulator Transition in 2D: Experimental Test of the Two-Parameter Scaling
We report a detailed scaling analysis of resistivity \rho(T,n) measured for
several high-mobility 2D electron systems in the vicinity of the 2D
metal-insulator transition. We analyzed the data using the two parameter
scaling approach and general scaling ideas. This enables us to determine the
critical electron density, two critical indices, and temperature dependence for
the separatrix in the self-consistent manner. In addition, we reconstruct the
empirical scaling function describing a two-parameter surface which fits well
the \rho(T,n) data.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
