Abstract: Williamson's theorem states that for any $2nimes2n$ real positive definite matrix $A$, there exists a $2nimes2n$ real symplectic matrix $S$ such that $S^{T}AS=DoplusD$, where $D$ is an $nimesn$ diagonal matrix with positive diagonal entries which are known as the symplectic eigenvalues of $A$. Let $H$ be any $2nimes2n$ real symmetric matrix such that the perturbed matrix $A+H$ is also positive definite. In this paper, we show that any symplectic matrix $ildeS$ diagonalizing $A+H$ in Williamson's theorem is of the form $ildeS=SQ+mathcalO(|H|)$, where $Q$ is a $2nimes2n$ real symplectic as well as orthogonal matrix. Moreover, $Q$ is in $extitsymplecticblockdiagonal$ form with the block sizes given by twice the multiplicities of the symplectic eigenvalues of $A$. Consequently, we show that $ildeS$ and $S$ can be chosen so that $|ildeS-S|=mathcalO(|H|)$. Our results hold even if $A$ has repeated symplectic eigenvalues. This generalizes the stability result of symplectic matrices for non-repeated symplectic eigenvalues given by Idel, Gaona, and Wolf [$extitLinearAlgebraAppl.,525:45-58,2017$].
