Derivative of eigenvectors of a matrix with respect to its components

Suppose that $B$ is a real, positive-definitive symmetric ($3\times3$) matrix (more accurately, $B$ is a tensor) with distinct eigenvalues, and that we can write it as $$ B= \sum_{i=1}^3 \lambda_{i}(...

Derivative of an eigenvector with respect to his own 3x3 real symmetric matrix

$\mathbf{C}$ is a real, positive-definitive 3x3 symmetric matrix (I am thinking about the right Cauchy-Green tensor in solid mechanics). We perform eigendecomposition and get: $$\mathbf{C} = \sum_{i=...

Eigenvectors of a tensor in $\mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2$

I want to find the critical point of tensor $f=a_0b_0c_0 + a_1b_1c_1$ in $\mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2$, and I followed this construction: First, I take the following partial ...

Derivative of eigenpair with respect to matrix

Suppose that $A$ is real and symmetric matrix (or tensor) of dimension $3 \times 3$, with its spectral decomposition $$A = \sum_{i=1}^3 \lambda_i\ n_i\otimes n_i$$ where $\lambda_i$, $n_i$ and $\...

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 ...
