A note on Riesz bases of eigenvectors of certain holomorphic operator-functions (Q5929385)

The operator-function \[ {\mathcal A}(\lambda)=A-\lambda I+Q(\lambda) \] is considered acting in a separable Hilbert space, where \(A\) is an operator with compact resolvent, \(Q(\lambda)\) is an A-compact linear operator for each \(\lambda\in\Omega\) (\(\Omega\) is an open connected subset of \(C\)). It is assumed that all the eigenvalues \(\{\lambda_j\}_1^{\infty}\) of \(A\) beyond a certain index are all simple, lie in \(\Omega\), and the corresponding eigenvectors form a Riesz basis of finite defect. The main theorem says that if there are bounds for \(||Q(\lambda)(A-\lambda I)^{-1}||\) on certain circles around the \(\lambda_j\) which decrease rapidly enough with \(j\), then the spectrum of \({\mathcal A}\) in each circle consists only of a single eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenvectors also form a Riesz basis of finite defect.
