Global properties of eigenvalues of parametric rank one perturbations for unstructured and structured matrices (Q2030198)

The paper contributes to eigenvalue perturbation theory. The authors previously considered perturbations of the form \(A+tuv^*\), where \(t\in \mathbb R\), in [\textit{A. C. M. Ran} and \textit{M. Wojtylak}, Linear Algebra Appl. 437, No. 2, 589--600 (2012; Zbl 1247.15009)]. Here, they also consider angular perturbations \(A+e^{i\theta}uv^*\) where \(\theta\in [0,2\pi)\). Connecting these two cases, the authors prove new results on the global behaviour of the eigenvalues. The two main problems under consideration are defining the eigenvalues as functions of the parameter \(\tau\) (where either \(\tau\in \mathbb R\) or \(\tau=e^{i\theta}\)), in which case the eigenvalues can be defined as analytic functions, and considering the case of large \(|\tau|\rightarrow \infty\), where the eigenvalues are studied through the roots of the polynomial \(m_A(\lambda)-\tau p_{uv}(\lambda)\), where \(m_A(\lambda)\) is the minimal polynomial of \(A\) and \(p_{uv}(\lambda)=v^*m_A(\lambda)(\lambda I_n-A)^{-1}u\). The results are applied to various families of matrices.
