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\...

Diagonalization of Hermitian Matrix Polynomials

I have a question on the decomposition of polynomial matrices. Suppose $A(\lambda) = \sum_{j=0}^L \lambda^j A_j$ is an $n \times n$ matrix of polynomials, which is Hermitian on the real axis $\lambda ...
