On condition numbers of a nondefective multiple eigenvalue (Q1189637): Difference between revisions

The author is concerned with measures of sensitivity of a nondefective multiple eigenvalue of a matrix. Different condition numbers are introduced starting from directional derivatives of the multiple eigenvalue. Properties of the condition numbers defined by \textit{G. W. Stewart} and \textit{G. Zhang} [ibid. 58, No. 7, 703-712 (1991; Zbl 0697.65027)] are studied. \textit{J. H. Wilkinson}'s theorem [ibid. 19, 176-178 (1972; Zbl 0252.65027)] on matrices with a very ill-conditioned eigenproblem is also extended.
