Sharp error bounds for Ritz vectors and approximate singular vectors

From MaRDI portal
Publication:4960077




Abstract: We derive sharp bounds for the accuracy of approximate eigenvectors (Ritz vectors) obtained by the Rayleigh-Ritz process for symmetric eigenvalue problems. Using information that is available or easy to estimate, our bounds improve the classical Davis-Kahan sinheta theorem by a factor that can be arbitrarily large, and can give nontrivial information even when the sinheta theorem suggests that a Ritz vector might have no accuracy at all. We also present extensions in three directions, deriving error bounds for invariant subspaces, singular vectors and subspaces computed by a (Petrov-Galerkin) projection SVD method, and eigenvectors of self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space.
