Relative perturbation tanΘ-theorems for definite matrix pairs

Suzana Miodragović, Ninoslav Truhar, and Ivana Kuzmanović Ivičić

Abstract

In this paper, we consider perturbations of a Hermitian matrix pair $(H, M)$, where $H=GJG^*$ is non-singular, $J={\rm diag\,}(\pm 1)$, and $M$ is a positive definite matrix. The corresponding perturbed pair defined as $(\widetilde H, \widetilde M)=(H+\delta H, M+\delta M)$ is such that $\widetilde H=\widetilde G J \widetilde G^*$ is non-singular and $\widetilde M$ is a positive definite matrix. An upper bound for the norm of the tangents of the angles between the eigenspaces of the perturbed and unperturbed pairs is derived. The rotation of the eigenspaces under a perturbation is measured in the scalar product induced by $M$. We show that a relative $\tan\Theta$-bound for the standard eigenvalue problem is a special case of our new bound.
