Hermitian Matrices, Eigenvalue Multiplicities, and Eigenvector Components

چکیده
Given an n-by-n Hermitian matrix A and a real number λ, index i is said to be Parter (resp. neutral, downer) if the multiplicity of λ as an eigenvalue of A(i) is one more (resp. the same, one less) than that in A. In case the multiplicity of λ in A is at least 2 and the graph of A is a tree, there are always Parter vertices. Our purpose here is to advance the classification of vertices and, in particular, to relate classification to the combinatorial structure of eigenspaces. Some general results are given and then used to deduce some rather specific facts, not otherwise easily observed. Examples are given.

Erratum: Pseudo-hermiticity for a Class of Nondiagonalizable Hamiltonians
Theorem 2: Let H be as in Theorem 1 of Ref. [2]. Then H is pseudo-Hermitian if and only if it is Hermitian with respect to an inner product 〈〈 , 〉〉 that supports a positivesemidefinite basis [3] including the eigenvectors of H . In particular, for every eigenvector ψ of H , 〈〈ψ|ψ〉〉 ≥ 0; if the corresponding eigenvalue is real and nondefective (algebraic and geometric multiplicities are equal), ...
متن کاملOn Eigenvector Bounds
There are methods to compute error bounds for a multiple eigenvalue together with an inclusion of a basis of the corresponding invariant subspace. Those methods have no restriction with respect to the structure of Jordan blocks, but they do not provide an inclusion of a single eigenvector. In this note we first show under general assumptions that a narrow inclusion of a single eigenvector is no...
متن کاملOn an Eigenvector-Dependent Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problem
We first provide existence and uniqueness conditions for the solvability of an algebraic eigenvalue problem with eigenvector nonlinearity. We then present a local and global convergence analysis for a self-consistent field (SCF) iteration for solving the problem. The well-known sin Θ theorem in the perturbation theory of Hermitian matrices plays a central role. The near-optimality of the local ...
متن کاملEigenvector Distribution of Wigner Matrices
We consider N×N Hermitian or symmetric random matrices with independent entries. The distribution of the (i, j)-th matrix element is given by a probability measure νij whose first two moments coincide with those of the corresponding Gaussian ensemble. We prove that the joint probability distribution of the components of eigenvectors associated with eigenvalues close to the spectral edge agrees ...
متن کاملThe Unsymmetric Eigenvalue Problem
The superscript H refers to the Hermitian transpose, which includes transposition and complex conjugation. That is, for any matrix A, AH = AT . An eigenvector of A, as defined above, is sometimes called a right eigenvector of A, to distinguish from a left eigenvector. It can be seen that if y is a left eigenvector of A with eigenvalue λ, then y is also a right eigenvector of AH , with eigenvalu...
