Conditions for smooth dependence of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix on a set of parameters
Let $A\in\mathcal M_n$ be an $n\times n$ real [symmetric] matrix which depends smoothly on a [finite] set of parameters, $A=A(\xi_1,\ldots,\xi_k)$. We can view it as a smooth function $A:\mathbb R^k\...

Can always a family of symmetric real matrices depending smoothly on a real parameter be diagonalized by smooth similarity transformations?
This question is related to another question, but it is definitely not the same.
Is it always possible to diagonalize (at least locally around each point) a family of symmetric real matrices $A(t)$ ...

Recovering Spherical Harmonics from Discrete Samples
Consider a collection of $N$ points on the 2-sphere chosen uniformly at random. Let's say that there's an edge between two such vertices if their geodesic distance is less than $r_N$. The resulting ...

Differentiability of eigenvalue and eigenvector on the non-simple case
Let $h:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m, n>1$ be a twice continuously differentiable function and $J_h:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ be its jacobian matrix. Let us consider the functions $A(x):=...
