Approximation in eigenvalue problems for holomorphic fredholm operator functions I

The approximation of a holomorphic eigenvalue problem is considered. The main purpose is to present a construction by which the derivation of the asymptotic error estimations for the approximate eigenvalues of Fredholm operator functions can be reduced to the derivation of these estimations for the case of matrix functions. (Some estimations for the latter problem can be derived, in one's turn, from the error estimations for the zeros of the corresponding determinants.) The asymptotic error estimations are considered in part II of this paper, in [10]. By the presented construction also the stability of the algebraic multiplicity of eigenvalues by regular approximation is proved in Section 3

The presented construction, in essence, reproduces the constructions in [7] for the case of the compact approximation in subspaces and in [9] for the case of projection—like methods. It is simpler to use than similiar construction in [8], and allows unified consideration of the general case and the case of projection—like methods, what in [8, 9] was not achieved
