Some interlacing theorems on the schur complement

From MaRDI portal





Let \(H\) be a Hermitian matrix with an invertible principal submatrix \(A\), and let \(H/A\) denote the Schur complement of \(H\) with respect to \(A\). S.-A. Hu and R.L. Smith have determined a set of inequalities which must hold between the eigenvalues of \(H\) and \(H/A\); and also have shown that if these conditions hold for lists of putative eigenvalues, then suitable \(H\) and \(A\) must exist [see \textit{R. L. Smith}, Linear Algebra Appl. 177, 137-144 (1992; Zbl 0765.15007) and \textit{S.-A. Hu} and \textit{R. L. Smith}, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 16, No. 3, 1013-1023 (1995; Zbl 0829.15012)]. In the present paper the authors give a shorter proof of these results, and prove an analogue for rectangular matrices.
