Abstract: We consider the Galerkin method for approximating the spectrum of an operator $T+A$ where $T$ is semi-bounded self-adjoint and $A$ satisfies a relative compactness condition. We show that the method is reliable in all regions where it is reliable for the unperturbed problem - which always contains $$. The results lead to a new technique for identifying eigenvalues of $T$, and for identifying spectral pollution which arises from applying the Galerkin method directly to $T$. The new technique benefits from being applicable on the form domain.
