Hessenberg decomposition of matrix fields and bounded operator fields

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Hessenberg decomposition is the basic tool used in computational linear algebra to approximate the eigenvalues of a matrix. In this article, we generalize Hessenberg decomposition to continuous matrix fields over topological spaces. This works in great generality: the space is only required to be normal and to have finite covering dimension. As applications, we derive some new structure results on self-adjoint matrix fields, we establish some eigenvalue separation results, and we generalize to all finite-dimensional normal spaces a classical result on trivial summands of vector bundles. Finally, we develop a variant of Hessenberg decomposition for fields of bounded operators on a separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space.
