Differentiable Eigenvalues of Perturbed Quadratic Matrix Functions

Let T(λ, ε ) = λ² + λC + λεD + K be a perturbed quadratic matrix polynomial, where C, D, and K are n × n hermitian matrices. Let λ₀ be an eigenvalue of the unperturbed matrix polynomial T(λ, 0). With the falling part of the Newton diagram of det T(λ, ε), we find the number of differentiable eigenvalues. Some results are extended to the general case L(λ, ε) = λ² + λD(ε) + K, where D(ε) is an analytic hermitian matrix function. We show that if K is negative definite on Ker L(λ₀, 0), then every eigenvalue λ(ε) of L(λ, ε) near λ₀ is analytic.
