Low Rank Perturbations of Quaternion Matrices

On low rank perturbations of matrices

The article is devoted to different aspects of the question: ”What can be done with a matrix by a low rank perturbation?” It is proved that one can change a geometrically simple spectrum drastically by a rank 1 perturbation, but the situation is quite different if one restricts oneself to normal matrices. Also the Jordan normal form of a perturbed matrix is discussed. It is proved that with res...

Some Observations on Inverses of Band Matrices and Low Rank Perturbations of Triangular Matrices

A brief introduction to quaternion matrices and linear algebra and on bounded groups of quaternion matrices

The division algebra of real quaternions, as the only noncommutative normed division real algebra up to isomorphism of normed algebras, is of great importance. In this note, first we present a brief introduction to quaternion matrices and quaternion linear algebra. This, among other things, will help us present the counterpart of a theorem of Herman Auerbach in the setting of quaternions. More ...

The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of finite, low rank perturbations of large random matrices

We consider the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of finite, low rank perturbations of random matrices. Specifically, we prove almost sure convergence of the extreme eigenvalues and appropriate projections of the corresponding eigenvectors of the perturbed matrix for additive and multiplicative perturbation models. The limiting non-random value is shown to depend explicitly on the limiting eigenvalu...

The singular values and vectors of low rank perturbations of large rectangular random matrices

In this paper, we consider the singular values and singular vectors of finite, low rank perturbations of large rectangular random matrices. Specifically, we prove almost sure convergence of the extreme singular values and appropriate projections of the corresponding singular vectors of the perturbed matrix. As in the prequel, where we considered the eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices, the non-ra...
