Differentiable perturbation of unbounded operators

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: If A(t) is a C1,al-curve of unbounded self-adjoint operators with compact resolvents and common domain of definition, then the eigenvalues can be parameterized C1 in t. If A is Cinfty then the eigenvalues can be parameterized twice differentiable.


Let \(t\mapsto A(t)\), \(t\in \mathbb{R}\), be a curve of unbounded self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space with common domain of definition and compact support. Two main results are proved: if \(A\in C^\infty\), then the eigenvalues of \(A(t)\) may be parametrized twice differentiably in \(t\); if \(A(t)\in C^{1,\alpha}\) for some \(\alpha> 0\), then the eigenvalues of \(A(t)\) may be parametrized in a \(C^1\) way in \(t\). It is also shown that the results cannot be improved to yield a \(C^{1,\beta}\) parametrization of the eigenvalues for some \(\beta> 0\) and that \(C^{1,\alpha}\) cannot be weakened to \(C^1\) in the second result.
