Abstract: These notes develop aspects of perturbation theory of matrices related to so-called diagonalisation schemes. Primary focus is on constructive tools to derive asymptotic expansions for small/large parameters of eigenvalues and eigenprojections of families of matrices depending upon real/complex parameters. Applications of the schemes in different frameworks --including hyperbolic polynomials, asymptotic integration of ordinary differential equations, diagonalisation within symbolic hierarchies and pseudo-differential decoupling of hyperbolic-parabolic coupled systems-- are also discussed and references to further applications given.

Review text

Let \(A : {\mathbb R} \to {\mathbb C}^{m\times m}\) be a continuous matrix-valued function depending upon a real/complex parameter \(\rho\) such that the family of matrices has the asymptotic expansion \(A(\rho) = A_0 + \rho A_1 + \rho^2 A_2 +\cdots+\rho^N A_N + O(\rho^{N+1})\), \(\rho\to 0\), \(N\in\mathbb N\), and \(A_0\) is non-degenerate (i.e., \(A_0\) has \(m\) distinct eigenvalues). The authors start from the existence of uniformly bounded families of invertible matrices \(M(\rho)\) with uniformly bounded inverse having asymptotic expansions as \(\rho\to 0\) and satisfying \(A(\rho)M(\rho) -M(\rho)\Lambda(\rho) = O(\rho^N)\), \(N\in \mathbb N\), for a diagonal matrix \(\Lambda(\rho)\). They show how to construct the diagonaliser \(M(\rho)\) using a recursion scheme and how the aforementioned uniform bounds and the asymptotic expansion of \(\Lambda(\rho)\) arise naturally within the construction. The main objective of this note is to discuss how to generalise this scheme to degenerate matrix functions and to replace the assumption of non-degeneracy by weaker assumptions. Applications in different frameworks are also discussed and references to further applications given.
