Derivative norm estimates

Assume $\Phi$ is some diffeomorphism of a certain manifold. Let $\Phi^{-1}$ denote the inverse map and let $(D\Phi)^{-1}$ denote the matrix inverse of $D\Phi$. QUESTION. Does this norm estimate hold? ...

Constant rank theorem for Banach spaces

Is there a similar statement to the constant rank theorem for finite dimensional real smooth manifolds which holds for a smooth map $F:B \rightarrow M$ where $B$ is an infinite (countable) dimensional ...

Dilation of bounded linear operators

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space, and let $A$ be a contraction (bounded linear operator of norm $\leq 1$) on $H$. I heard in a recent talk that there is a (apparently famous) result due to Sz-Nagy which ...

On a paper of von Neumann

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and $T: H \to H$ be a contraction. In Eine Spektraltheorie für allgemeine Operatoren eines unitären Raumes, von Neumann proved the inequality $$ \lVert p(T)\rVert \leq \sup \...

Topological vector spaces (reference request)

In his book Topological Function Spaces Arhangel'skii says that "it is well known that every nontrivial locally convex linear topological space $X$ is homeomorphic to a space of the form $Y \...

Books on limiting properties of matrices with growing size

This question has been posted on Math-Se previously. I am studying asymptotic properties of the Projection Matrix $$ H_n=X'(X'X)^{-1}X $$ By the Gerschgorin disc theorem, the bounds on the ...

A Pythagorian inequality characterization of inner-product spaces

Let $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ be a real normed space. For any points $A$ and $B$ in $X$, let $AB:=\|A-B\|$. Suppose that for any points $A$ and $B$ in $X$ and any straight line $\ell\subseteq X$ such that $B\...

Norm bounds on spectral variation and eigenvalue variation

Let $A$ and $B$ be two matrices of eigenvalues $\lambda_i$ and $\mu_i$, respectively. The spectral variation of $B$ w.r.t. $A$ and the eigenvalue variation of $B$ and $A$ are, respectively, \begin{...

Increasing sequence of closed subspaces of $L^2$ and error estimate of a product of orthogonal projections

We define an increasing sequence of closed subspaces \begin{align*} V_{0} \subset V_{1} \subset V_{\ell} \subset \dots \end{align*} of $L^2(I)$ where $I=(0,x_{max})$, and each $V_{\ell}$ is equipped ...

A weak Perron-Frobenius property for sets of positive matrices

A popular form of the Perron-Frobenius theorem states the following result: if $A$ is a $d \times d$ real matrix all of whose entries are positive, then the spectral radius of $A$ is a simple ...

Random products of projections: bounds on convergence rate?

The von Neumann-Halperin [vN,H] theorem shows that iterating a fixed product of projection operators converges to the projector onto the intersection subspace of the individual projectors. A good ...

reference for perturbation of projection result

Let $A$ and $B$ have the same rank and dimensions. If $P_A$ denotes the projection onto the range space of $A$, then $$ \|P_A - P_B\|_2 \leq \|A - B\| \cdot \min (\|A^\dagger\|_2, \|B^\dagger\|_2). $$ ...

references for families of conditionaly negative definite matrices

We say that a matrix $A\in M_n(\mathbb{C})$ is a conditionaly negative definite matrix if it is hermitian and if for all complex numbers $c_1,\ldots,c_n$ such that $c_1+\cdots +c_n=0$ we have $$ \sum_{...
