This paper deals with the effect of generic but structured low rank perturbations on the Jordan structure and sign
characteristic of matrices that have structure in an indefinite inner product space.
The paper is a follow-up of earlier papers in which the effect of rank one perturbations
was considered. Several results that are in contrast to the case of unstructured low rank
perturbations of general matrices are presented here.
An eigenvalue perturbation theory under rank-one perturbations is developed for classes
of real matrices that are symmetric with respect to a non-degenerate bilinear form,
or Hamiltonian with respect to a non-degenerate skew-symmetric form.
In contrast to the case of complex matrices, the sign characteristic is a crucial feature
of matrices in these classes. The behavior of the sign characteristic under generic
rank-one perturbations is analyzed in each of these two classes of matrices.
Partial results are presented, but some questions remain open. Applications
include boundedness and robust boundedness for solutions of structured systems
of linear differential equations with respect to general perturbations as well
as with respect to structured rank perturbations of the coefficients.
We study the perturbation theory of structured matrices under structured
rank one perturbations, with emphasis on matrices that are unitary, orthogonal, or symplectic
with respect to an indefinite inner product. The rank one perturbations are not necessarily of
arbitrary small size (in the sense of norm).
In the case of sesquilinear forms, results on selfadjoint matrices can be applied to
unitary matrices by using the Cayley transformation, but
in the case of real or complex symmetric or skew-symmetric bilinear forms
additional considerations are necessary. For complex symplectic matrices, it turns out that
generically (with respect to the perturbations) the behavior of the Jordan form of the
perturbed matrix follows the pattern established earlier for unstructured matrices and their unstructured perturbations, provided the specific properties of the Jordan
form of complex symplectic matrices are accounted for. For instance,
the number of Jordan blocks of fixed odd size corresponding to the eigenvalue $1$ or $-1$ have to be even.
For complex orthogonal matrices, it is shown that the behavior of
the Jordan structures corresponding to the original eigenvalues that are not moved by
perturbations follows again the pattern established earlier for unstructured matrices,
taking into account the specifics of Jordan forms of complex orthogonal
matrices.
The proofs are based on general results developed in the paper concerning Jordan forms of
structured matrices (which include in particular the classes of orthogonal and symplectic matrices)
under structured rank one perturbations. These results are presented and proved in the framework of
real as well as of complex matrices.
We study the perturbation theory of structured matrices under
structured rank one perturbations, and then focus on several classes of complex
matrices. Generic Jordan structures of perturbed matrices are identified.
It is shown that the perturbation
behavior of the Jordan structures
is substantially different from the corresponding theory for unstructured generic
rank one perturbations.
For selfadjoint matrices in an indefinite inner product, possible canonical forms are identified that arise when the matrix is subjected to a selfadjoint generic rank one perturbation. Genericity is understood in
the sense of algebraic geometry. Special attention is paid to the perturbation
behavior of the sign characteristic. Typically, under such a perturbation,
for every given eigenvalue, the largest Jordan block of the eigenvalue is
destroyed and (in case the eigenvalue is real) all other Jordan blocks
keep their sign characteristic. The new eigenvalues, i.e., those eigenvalues of
the perturbed matrix that are not eigenvalues of the original matrix,
are typically simple, and in some cases information is provided about their sign
characteristic (if the new eigenvalue is real). The main results are proved by using
the well known canonical forms of selfadjoint matrices in an indefinite inner product, a version of the Brunovsky
canonical form and on general results concerning rank one perturbations.
$\mu$-values and spectral value sets for linear perturbation classes defined by a scalar product
(2007)
We study the variation of the spectrum of matrices
under perturbations which are self- or skew-adjoint
with respect to a scalar product.
Computable formulae are given for the associated
$\mu$-values. The results can be used to calculate spectral value
sets for the perturbation classes under consideration.
We discuss the special case of
complex Hamiltonian perturbations of a Hamiltonian matrix in detail.
Lagrangian invariant subspaces for symplectic matrices play an important role in the numerical solution of discrete time, robust and optimal control problems. The sensitivity (perturbation) analysis of these subspaces, however, is a difficult problem, in particular, when the eigenvalues are on or close to some critical regions in the complex plane, such as the unit circle.
We present a detailed perturbation analysis for several different cases of real and complex symplectic matrices. We analyze stability and conditional stability
as well as the index of stability for these subspaces.
