Perturbed spectra of defective matrices

This paper is devoted to the perturbation theory for defective matrices. We consider the asymptotic expansions of the perturbed spectrum when a matrix A is changed to A+tE, where E≠0 and t>0 is a small parameter. In particular, we analyse the rational exponents that may occur when the matrix E va...

Description
Summary:This paper is devoted to the perturbation theory for defective matrices. We consider the asymptotic expansions of the perturbed spectrum when a matrix A is changed to A+tE, where E≠0 and t>0 is a small parameter. In particular, we analyse the rational exponents that may occur when the matrix E varies over the sphere ‖E‖ =ρ>0. We partially characterize the leading exponents noting that the description of the set of all leading exponents remains an open problem.
