The Krein Matrix and an Interlacing Theorem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider the linear general eigenvalue problem Ay = λBy , where A and B are both invertible and Hermitian N × N matrices. In this paper we construct a set of meromorphic functions, the Krein eigenvalues, whose zeros correspond to the real eigenvalues of the general eigenvalue problem. The Krein eigenvalues are generated by the Krein matrix, which is constructed through projections on the positive and negative eigenspaces of B . The number of Krein eigenvalues depends on the number of negative eigenvalues for B . These constructions not only allow for us to determine solutions to the general eigenvalue problem, but also to determine the Krein signature for each real eigenvalue. Furthermore, by applying our formulation to the simplest case of the general eigenvalue problem (where B has one negative eigenvalue), we are able to show an interlacing theorem between the eigenvalues for the general problem and the eigenvalues of A.

A cone theoretic Krein-Milman theorem in semitopological cones
In this paper, a Krein-Milman type theorem in $T_0$ semitopological cone is proved, in general. In fact, it is shown that in any locally convex $T_0$ semitopological cone, every convex compact saturated subset is the compact saturated convex hull of its extreme points, which improves the results of Larrecq.
متن کاملThe Krein signature, Krein eigenvalues, and the Krein Oscillation Theorem
In this paper the problem of locating eigenvalues of negative Krein signature is considered for operators of the form JL, where J is skew-symmetric with bounded inverse and L is self-adjoint. A finite-dimensional matrix, hereafter referred to as the Krein matrix, associated with the eigenvalue problem JLu = λu is constructed with the property that if the Krein matrix has a nontrivial kernel for...
متن کاملMATRIX VALUATION PSEUDO RING (MVPR) AND AN EXTENSION THEOREM OF MATRIX VALUATION
Let R be a ring and V be a matrix valuation on R. It is shown that, there exists a correspondence between matrix valuations on R and some special subsets ?(MVPR) of the set of all square matrices over R, analogous to the correspondence between invariant valuation rings and abelian valuation functions on a division ring. Furthermore, based on Malcolmson’s localization, an alternative proof for t...
متن کاملFunctionally closed sets and functionally convex sets in real Banach spaces
Let $X$ be a real normed space, then $C(subseteq X)$ is functionally convex (briefly, $F$-convex), if $T(C)subseteq Bbb R $ is convex for all bounded linear transformations $Tin B(X,R)$; and $K(subseteq X)$ is functionally closed (briefly, $F$-closed), if $T(K)subseteq Bbb R $ is closed for all bounded linear transformations $Tin B(X,R)$. We improve the Krein-Milman theorem ...
متن کاملNon - Linear Eigenvalue - EigenvectorProblems for STP
We consider the eigenvalue-eigenvector problem where p 1 p m?1 = r. We prove an analogue of the classical Gantmacher{Krein Theorem for the eigenvalue-eigenvector structure of STP matrices in the case where p i 1 for each i, plus various extensions thereof. A matrix A is said to be strictly totally positive (STP) if all its minors are strictly positive. STP matrices were independently introduced...
