On the distance between lattices of invariant subspaces of matrices (Q1071841): Difference between revisions

The authors study the behavior of the lattices Inv(X) of all invariant subspaces of a matrix X, when X belongs to the class of matrices with fixed Jordan structure. A larger class of matrices with fixed Jordan structure corresponding to the eigenvalues of geometric multiplicity greater than one is also studied. The paper focuses on analysis of the distance between the lattices of invariant subspaces. The paper is divided into sections of introduction, preservation of Jordan structure and isomorphism of lattices, properties of linear isomorphisms of lattices, distances between invariant subspaces for matrices with the same Jordan structure, matrices with the same derogatory Jordan structure, distance between invariant subspaces for matrices with different Jordan structures, and conjectures.
