Measurability of eigenvalues-eigenvectors of a positive compact operator

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space over $\mathbb{R}$. Let ${A} = \{a\colon H\to H\,|\,a\text{ is a positive, compact linear operator}\}$. By the spectral theorem, given $a \in A$, there are scalars $...

Conditions for continuity of non-simple eigenvectors

Here, https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1146455, it is noted that eigenprojections are continuous, but eigenvectors are not. Are there any conditions where the eigenvalues are not simple, but the ...
