Can the higher order corrections to energy be calculated the same way in degenerate perturbation theory as with non-degenerate perturbation theory?

Consider the system given by, $$ H|n\rangle = E|n\rangle$$ where: $H$ is the hamiltonian. $|n\rangle$ is the eigenstate. $E$ is the energy of the eigenstate. Now from non-degenerate perturbation ...

Can the derivative of eigenvectors with respect to its components be taken as zero if all eigenvalues are equal?

I want to ask a couple of follow up questions to the question answered on the thread "Derivative of eigenvectors of a matrix with respect to its components". I noticed that in the accepted ...

Lipschitz continuity of eigenprojections

This question has the same flavor of this and this questions, but asks for something stronger. Assume that $A$ is a symmetric $n \times n$ matrix, $H$ is a $n \times n$ perturbation matrix. Moreover ...

Differentiability of Eigenvalues - Perturbation Theory

first, I have a general question. In perturbation theory, I saw perturbations in eigenvalues and eigenvectors of square, non-symmetric matrices and the calculations were all right but no one ever ...

Eigenvalue-related statements [closed]

(I understand this question might not be appropriate for this website, but it has been asked on MathStackexchange and did not receive any replies even with a bounty) How can I prove that the ...

Is Rellich's function valued theorem valid for a rank defficient function valued matrix?

Theorem (Rellich). Let $\boldsymbol{A}(t) : \mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}^{n \times n}$ be a Hermitian matrix function that depends on $t$ analytically. (i) The $n$ roots of the characteristic ...

Analytic perturbation of the eigenvalues/eigenvectors of non-Hermitian matrix

Consider a matrix function $A(x)$, analytically depending on single parameter $x$. Consider the eigenvalue/eigenvector pair of $A(0)$, namely $\lambda(0)$ and $w(0)$. The question is whether we can ...
