Lipschitz stability of some canonical Jordan bases of real \(H\)-selfadjoint matrices under small perturbations (Q6154416)

An \(n\times n\) invertible Hermitian matrix \(H\) defines an indefinite inner product via \([x,y]_H = y^*Hx\), for all \(x, y\in {\mathbb C}^n\). With such \(H\) fixed, an \(n\times n\) matrix \(A\) is \(H\)-selfadjoint if \(A = H^{-1}AH\). The motivation for the study in this paper is a question by the esteemed Professor Leiba Rodman (1949--2015): ``Is it possible to have a Lipschitz stability while realizing affiliation relation between a real \(H\)-selfadjoint matrix and its real Weierstrass form via a real matrix?'' The authors first cite the work by \textit{T. Bella} et al. [Linear Algebra Appl. 428, No. 8--9, 2130--2176 (2008; Zbl 1183.15009)], namely, the fact that the flipped orthogonal (FO) Jordan bases of \(H\)-selfadjoint matrices are Lipschitz stable under small perturbations. Additionally, they reference the recent work by \textit{S. D. Akgul} et al. [``Existence of flipped orthogonal conjugate symmetric Jordan canonical bases for real H-selfadjoint matrices'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:2203.09877}], focusing the real \(H\)-selfadjoint matrices, where a more refined basis known as FOCS bases was introduced. These FOCS bases possess both Weierstrass flipped orthogonality (FO) and the conjugate symmetric (CS) property. They are directly related to the type of Jordan bases for the study in the paper. The authors prove that the new Jordan bases called \(\gamma\)-flipped orthogonal conjugate symmetric (\(\gamma\)-FOCS) are Lipschitz stable under small perturbations in Section 3. A new proof for the existence of \(\gamma\)-FOCS basis is given in Section 2, which is different from the proof in [{S. D. Akgul} et al., loc. cit.]. Finally, they establish the Lipschitz stability for the classical real canonical Jordan bases in Section 4.
