1 Appendix D Perturbation Theory D. Simple Examples Let A = 3, B = 4 6. (D.) The eigenvalues of A are, and 3, where λ = has multiplicity. To find the eigenvalue of the perturbed matrix A + ǫb corresponding to the unperturbed eigenvalue λ =, we use non-degenerate perturbation theory, so λ = λ + ǫλ + O ( ǫ ) (D.) = + ǫ x T Bx x T x + O ( ǫ ) (D.3) = + ǫ [ ] 4 6 [ ] + O ( ǫ ) (D.4) = + 4ǫ + O ( ǫ ), (D.5) noting that A = A T, so x, the eigenvector of AT with eigenvalue, is the same as x, the eigenvector of A with eigenvalue. We can do likewise for λ = 3 to find λ = 3 + 6ǫ + O ( ǫ ). (D.6) 3

2 For λ =, we must use degenerate perturbation theory, which says that Bc = λ Mc (D.7) where so equation D.7 becomes [ B ij v T i Bv j M ij v T i v j, (D.8) ] c = λ [ hence λ is i or i, so the perturbed eigenvalues for λ = are ] c, (D.9) λ = + ǫ { i i + O ( ǫ ) (D.) In summary, the eigenvalues of A + ǫb are ± iǫ λ = + 4ǫ + O ( ǫ ) (D.) 3 + 6ǫ These are compared to numerically calculated eigenvalues in figure D.. If instead, B = 4, (D.) 6 then perturbation theory says that for ǫ small, the eigenvalues of A + ǫb are ± ǫ λ = + 4ǫ + O ( ǫ ) (D.3) 3 + 6ǫ These are compared to numerically calculated eigenvalues in figure D.. D. Wilkinson s Matrix We now choose to look at an example where perturbation theory is very poor at approximating the perturbed eigenvalues. Following Wilkinson [3], we let 9 8 A = (D.4) 4

(D.8) (D.9) (D.) or, if we generalise A and B to be m by m matrices, λ n = n + ǫ mm ( ) m n (m n)!(n )! (D.) 7

The eigenvalue predicted by perturbation theory is also shown. The predicted range gives the number η for which we must have ǫ η in order for perturbation theory to be valid, as in equation D.. where this is valid for m m ǫ. (D.) (m n)!(n )! For example, when m = 5, perturbation theory predicts λ 8 = 8 + ǫ (D.3) so we expect this to be valid for ǫ 8. The eigenvalues in the m = case, as a function of ǫ, were computed numerically in MATLAB and are shown in figures D.4 D.9. Also, the th eigenvalues in the m = case, as a function of ǫ, is compared to that predicted by perturbation theory. This is shown in figure D.3. Error in Computation Since the Wilkinson matrix has such poorly behaved eigenvalues, we expect that numerical computations of its perturbed eigenvalues will be difficult. To illustrate this, we compute the eigenvalues of the perturbed Wilkinson matrix for different values of m and ǫ using two different programs, MATLAB and Mathematica. The calculations were performed to 5 digits. The result is shown 8

12 in figure D.6. More precisely, the plot is of the maximum of the absolute value of the complex difference between the eigenvalues as computed by MATLAB and Mathematica. To determine which is most accurate, we also plot each as compared with perturbation theory (figures D.7 and D.8). Observe that, within the region of validity of perturbation theory, Mathematica agrees very well with perturbation theory. We assume then that the error depicted in figure D.7 is due to errors from perturbation theory, not Mathematica. D.. Sherman-Woodbury-Morrison Formula If we wish to solve the related problem Ax + ǫbx = b, with A and B as above, then perturbation theory predicts x = ( A A ǫba ) b. (D.4) Since for our choice of B, we can write B = uv T, then we can apply the Sherman- Woodbury-Morrison formula which says that the exact solution is x = (A A ǫba ) + ǫv T A b, (D.5) u so we expect perturbation theory to be valid for ǫv T A u. Now 9!! ( ) 8!! ( ) 7! 9!! ( )! 8! 9! ( ) 7! 9! A 7! = 8!... so v T A u = ( )9! for m =. We can generalise this for any m to obtain!! (D.6) (D.7) We then expect perturbation theory to be valid for v T A u = ( m)m. (D.8) m! ǫ ( v T A u ) (D.9) ( ) ( m) m ǫ. m! (D.3) For example, when m = 5, this means that perturbation theory is valid for ǫ 9. 4

The lines in this figure are identical to those in figure D.5. D..3 Pseudospectrum Following Embree and Trefethen [7], we define the pseudospectrum of A to be Λ ǫ (A) = {z C : z Λ(A + E) for some E with E ǫ} (D.3) where Λ(A + E) is the set of eigenvalues of the matrix (A + E) and is a matrix norm induced by a vector norm. We choose to be the -norm. Since ǫb = ǫ, then the eigenvalues of the perturbed matrix A + ǫb are elements of Λ ǫ (A). The pseudospectrum of A in the m = case is shown in figures D.9 and D.. Note that the pseudospectrum of A agrees very well with the eigenvalues of A + ǫb as computed by MATLAB, although the eigenvalues of A + ǫb are all strictly within the boundary predicted by the pseudospectrum. This is especially visible in figure D.. This suggests that there exist some matrices C with C = such that the eigenvalues of A + ǫc are slightly further away from the unperturbed eigenvalues than the eigenvalues of A + ǫb. 5

15 D.3 Domain Perturbations Consider now the first order corrections to the eigenvalues of a differential equation where the domain has been perturbed by some perturbation of order ǫ. We look in specific at the problem φ + λφ = in Ω ǫ (D.3a) φ = on δω ǫ (D.3b) where and δω ǫ : R = + ǫf (θ) (D.33) f (θ) = n= a n e inθ, a n = a n. (D.34) We will now find the first order corrections to the eigenvalues by two different methods, and show that they produce the same result. D.3. General Method For the first method, we start by writing φ = φ + ǫφ + ǫ φ +... λ = λ + ǫλ + ǫ λ +... (D.35) (D.36) and equating terms of equal order from equation D.3a, we obtain that O () : φ + λ φ = (D.37) O (ǫ) : φ + λ φ = λ φ (D.38) L(φ) = λ φ. (D.39) Performing a Taylor expansion of the boundary conditions, = φ( + ǫf (θ),θ) (D.4) = φ(,θ) + ǫf (θ) φ,r (,θ) + ǫ f (θ) φ,rr (,θ) and equating terms of equal order, (D.4) O () : = φ (,θ) O (ǫ) : = φ (,θ) + f (θ) φ,r (,θ) (D.4) (D.43) 7

16 First Eigenvalue The unperturbed eigenfunction of the first eigenvalue is φ = J (j r) (D.44) where j mk is the kth positive zero of the Bessel function J m. Now we know that (φ, L(φ )) (φ, L(φ )) = (φ φ,r φ φ,r ) ds (D.45) where (f,g) D D fg dx. Using equations D.37, D.39, D.4 and D.43, equation D.45 becomes λ (φ,φ ) = f (θ)(φ,r ) ds so λ = = = j D D f (θ)(φ,r) ds D (φ ) dx ( an e inθ) (J (j ) j ) dθ θ=π θ= n= θ=π dθ r= θ= r= r (J (j r)) dθ = (J (j )) j θ=π ( a + ( θ= n= an e inθ + a n e inθ)) dθ π (J (j )) ( θ=π a + (Re (a n ) cos (nθ) + θ= n= Im (a n ) sin (nθ)) ) dθ (D.46) (D.47) (D.48) (D.49) (D.5) (D.5) = j a. (D.5) The first eigenvalue is then λ = j ǫj a + O ( ǫ ). (D.53) Second and Third Eigenvalues The second and third eigenvalues of the unperturbed system are the same, so we have φ = c v + c v (D.54) where c and c are arbitrary constants and v = J (j r) cos (θ), v = J (j r) sin (θ). (D.55) 8

17 As before, we can use (v, L(φ )) (φ, L(v )) = D (v φ,r φ v,r ) ds, (D.56) which, upon applying equations D.37, D.39, D.4 and D.43, becomes λ (v,φ ) = f (θ) φ,r v,r ds (D.57) D λ c (v,v ) λ c (v,v ) = c f v,r ds + c f v,r v,r ds. (D.58) D We can do likewise, with v in equation D.56 replaced with v to obtain λ c (v,v ) λ c (v,v ) = c f v,r v,r ds + c f v,r ds. (D.59) D We can express these two equations together as [ ][ ] f v,r f v,r v,r c f v,r v,r f v,r c D D = λ [ (v,v ) (v,v ) (v,v ) (v,v ) ] [ c (D.6) Using the definition of v and v from equation D.55 and the result that r= r= r (J (j r)) dr = J (j ) J (j ) this simplifies to [ ] [ f v,r f v,r v,r c f v,r v,r f v,r c ] c ]. = (J (j )), (D.6) = π (J (j )) λ [ c c ]. (D.6) If we re-write this as [ A B B C ] [ c c ] [ c = Q c ] (D.63) then the eigenvalues are given by Q = A + C ± A + C AC + 4B, (D.64) 9

18 where A = = D θ=π θ= f (θ) (v,r (,θ)) ds (D.65) ( a n e )(J inθ (j ) j cos (θ)) dθ (D.66) = (J (j )) j = (J (j )) j n= θ=π θ= θ=π θ= ( ( a + a + ( an e inθ + a n e inθ)) cos (θ) dθ (D.67) n= (Re (a n ) cos (nθ) n= +Im (a n ) sin(nθ)) ) cos (θ) dθ (D.68) = (J (j )) jπ (Re(a ) + a ) (D.69) A + ξ. (D.7) We likewise obtain that C = f (θ) (v,r (,θ)) ds (D.7) D ( θ=π = a n e )(J inθ (j ) j sin(θ)) dθ (D.7) θ= n= = (J (j )) jπ ( Re (a ) + a ) (D.73) = A + ξ (D.74) and B = = D θ=π θ= f (θ)v,r (,θ) v,r (,θ) ds (D.75) ( a n e )(J inθ (j ) j ) sin(θ)cos (θ) dθ (D.76) n= = (J (j )) j π Im(a ), (D.77) so that Q = A + C ± A + C AC + 4B = ξ ± A + B. (D.78) (D.79)

19 From the definition of Q, we obtain that λ π (J (j )) = Q (D.8) π λ (J (j )) = (J (j )) ja π ± (J (j )) jπ a (D.8) λ = j (± a a ) (D.8) So the second eigenvalue is and the third is D.3. λ = j + ǫj ( a a ) + O ( ǫ ) λ = j + ǫj ( a a ) + O ( ǫ ). Method of Assumed Solution (D.83) (D.84) For this method, we follow Wolf and Keller [3]. We start by assuming that the solution is of the form φ(r,θ,ǫ) = A n (ǫ) J n (kr) e inθ (D.85) where n= A n (ǫ) = δ n m α n + ǫβ n + ǫ γ n +... R (θ,ǫ) = + ǫ n a n e inθ + ǫ n b n e inθ + O ( ǫ 3) (D.86) (D.87) λ k = k + ǫk + ǫ k +... Applying boundary conditions, φ(r (θ,ǫ),θ,ǫ) = A n (ǫ) J n (kr (θ,ǫ))e inθ =. n (D.88) (D.89) Expanding this in a Taylor series, and writing kr = k + (k k ) + k (R ), we obtain A n {J n (k ) + J n (k ) (k k + k (R )) + n } J n (k ) (k k + k (R )) +... e inθ =. (D.9) Applying equations D.86 D.88 and equating terms of equal order, we obtain that O () : ( α m e imθ + α m e imθ) J m (k ) = O (ǫ) : ( ( α m J me imθ + α m J me imθ) k + k a l e )+ ilθ l β n J n e inθ =. n (D.9) (D.9)

20 From equation D.9, we obtain that k = j mp, so m =, p = corresponds to the first eigenvalue and m =, p = will give the second and third eigenvalues. First Eigenvalue Under the condition that m =, equation D.9 becomes ( ) = α J k + k a l e ilθ + β n J n e inθ. n Equating terms that have θ =, we obtain l (D.93) = α J (j ) (k + k a ) + β J (j ) (D.94) = α J (j ) (k + k a ) (D.95) = k + k a, (D.96) so and k k = a (D.97) λ = k which agrees with equation D.53. Second and Third Eigenvalues (D.98) = k + ǫk k + O ( ǫ ) (D.99) = j ǫj a + O ( ǫ ), (D.) Again following Wolf and Keller [3], we equate the coefficients of e imθ in equation D.9 to obtain and = α m J m (k ) k a m + α m J m (k ) (k + k a ) + β m J m (k ) (D.) = α m J m (k ) k a m + α m J m (k ) (k + k a ) (D.) = α m k a m + α m (k + k a ) (D.3) k k = α ma m α m a. (D.4) Alternately, equating the coefficients of e imθ in equation D.9, we obtain Equating equations D.4 and D.5, we obtain that α m a m α m eiω = α m a m α m k k = α ma m α m a. (D.5) e iω (D.6)

21 where so that ( ) αm a m ω = arg α m ( ) αm a m = arg α m e iω = e iω e iω = ±. (D.7) (D.8) (D.9) (D.) It then follows that k = ± α m a m k α m a (D.) = ± a m a, (D.) so the second and third eigenvalues are λ = j + ǫj (± a a ) + O ( ǫ ) (D.3) which agrees with equations D.83 and D.84. D.3.3 Result Similarly, Wolf and Keller [3] compute the second order correction to the first eigenvalue. Then under the condition that the area of the domain does not change under the perturbation (which causes a =, among other things), they obtain that Aλ II = πj π/ j j [ Aλ I πj ] / + j J (j +O [ Aλ I πj ) /J (j ) ]. (D.4) where A is the area of the domain, and λ I and λ II are the first and second eigenvalues, respectively. Normalising A to unity, we obtain the plot shown in figure D.. 3
