When is rank-1 perturbation to a positive operator still positive?
Let $A : \mathcal{H} \to \mathcal{H}$ and $B : \mathcal{H} \to \mathcal{H}$ be trace-class (hence compact) Hermitian operators on a separable Hilbert space. Assume that $A$ is strictly positive and ...

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,

A is a nonnegative matrix; the only principal submatrix having spectral radius above 1 is A itself
Let $\rho(M)$ denote the spectral radius (modulus of the largest eigenvalue) of a square matrix $M$.
I am looking for a characterization or anything else interesting about the set of matrices $A$ ...

"Almost orthogonalizing" matrices using a signature matrix
Suppose $A$ and $B$ are two real symmetric $n \times n$ matrices (If simpler, consider $A$ and $B$ to be 0/1 matrices, say, adjacency matrices of d-regular graphs).
Then $||AB||_{op} \leq ||A||_{op}||...
