Perturbation of a rank-restricted product of matrices
I formulated a statement, which is hopefully true (at least I'm not knowledgeable enough to see a reason for it not to be). However, I'm struggling to come up with a proof.
Let $W_i \in \mathbb{R}^{...

A question about the generalized Lidskii-Wielandt inequality for matrices proved by Thompson and Freede
In 1971, Thomson and Freede generalized the Lidskii-Wielandt inequalites as follows (version for singular values)
Let $A$, $B$ be $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices. Suppose $\alpha_1\geq \alpha_2 \geq \...

Two-variable singular perturbation analysis
I am having difficulty with a two-variable singular perturbation analysis on a set of ODE's. The key difficulty is also present in the following, embarrassingly simple problem:
If $x\sim \mathcal{O}(...

Error bound on matrix vector multiplication
I am multiplying a matrix $A$ with vector $p$. However, the matrix $A$ isn't accurate.
Some (a very small fraction) of the element's value is changed from $a_{i,j}$ to {0,$-a_{i,j}$, $2a_{i,j}$}. ...

Perturbation analysis for three term recurrences
Jacobi polynomials, denoted by $J^{(\alpha,\beta)}_n$, on $[-1,1]$ satisfy a three term recurrence
$$ J_{n+1}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x) = (A_n+B_nx)J^{(\alpha,\beta)}_n + C_nJ_{n-1}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x), \...

Coefficient perturbations of polynomials with real roots only
Let
\begin{align}
P(x) &= x^n+a_{n-1} x^{n-1} +\ldots+a_0 = \prod_{i=1}^n (x-p_i)\\
Q(x) &= x^n + b_{n-1} x^{n-1} + \ldots +b_0 = \prod_{i=1}^n (x-q_i)\\
p_i, q_i& \in \mathbb{R},\ 0<...

Perturbation method of a boundary value problem
Let $u(x, \epsilon, \theta)$ be the solution of $$u''+(\epsilon \cos(x)+\theta-u)u=0$$ with boundary conditions $u'(0)=0$ and $u'(\pi)=0$. Here $\theta\in [0, 1]$.
I tried to put the solution in ...

Non-linear Perturbation Operator Examples
Consider a non-linear operator $\cal H$ which maps a function to a function (e.g., a map from a starting wave function $f(x,y,z)$ to a later wave function according to some non-linear PDE) and an $\...

componentwise eigenvector perturbation
Does the sin-theta theorem imply a componentwise nonasymptotic bound for eigenvectors? Assume, for the purpose of this question, that the eigenvalues concerned are simple.
If this is trivial, I ...

Induced higher Gershgorin estimate
I have a problem which I suspect appears in literature under a name I haven't found yet.
Let $H:\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}^2)\to \ell^2(\mathbb{Z}^2)$ given by $H=\Delta + D$, where $\Delta$ is the graph ...
