Perturbation estimation for the parallel sum of Hermitian positive semi-definite matrices

Abstract: Let

m a t h b b C^{n i m e s n}

be the set of all

n i m e s n

complex matrices. For any Hermitian positive semi-definite matrices

A

and

B

in

m a t h b b C^{n i m e s n}

, their new common upper bound less than

A + B - A : B

is constructed, where

(A + B)^{d} a g

denotes the Moore-Penrose inverse of

A + B

, and

A : B = A (A + B)^{d} a g B

is the parallel sum of

A

and

B

. A factorization formula for

(A + X) : (B + Y) - A : B - X : Y

is derived, where

X, Y i n m a t h b b C^{n i m e s n}

are any Hermitian positive semi-definite perturbations of

A

and

B

, respectively. Based on the derived factorization formula and the constructed common upper bound of

X

and

Y

, some new and sharp norm upper bounds of

(A + X) : (B + Y) - A : B

are provided. Numerical examples are also provided to illustrate the sharpness of the obtained norm upper bounds.
