Norm inequalities for the spectral spread of Hermitian operators

In this work we introduce a new measure for the dispersion of the spectral scale of a Hermitian (self-adjoint) operator acting on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space that we call spectral spread. Then, we obtain some submajorization inequalities involving the spectral spread of self-adjoint operators, that are related to Tao's inequalities for anti-diagonal blocks of positive operators, Kittaneh's commutator inequalities for positive operators and also related to the Arithmetic-Geometric mean inequality. In turn, these submajorization relations imply inequalities for unitarily invariant norms (in the compact case).

Absolute variation of Ritz values, principal angles and spectral spread

Let $A$ be a $d\times d$ complex self-adjoint matrix, $\mathcal{X},\mathcal{Y}\subset \mathbb{C}^d$ be $k$-dimensional subspaces and let $X$ be a $d\times k$ complex matrix whose columns form an orthonormal basis of $\mathcal{X}$. We construct a $d\times k$ complex matrix $Y_r$ whose columns form an orthonormal basis of $\mathcal{Y}$ and obtain sharp upper bounds for the singular values $s(X^*AX-Y_r^*\,A\,Y_r)$ in terms of submajorization relations involving the principal angles between $\mathcal{X}$ and $\mathcal{Y}$ and the spectral spread of $A$. We apply these results to obtain sharp upper bounds for the absolute variation of the Ritz values of $A$ associated with the subspaces $\mathcal{X}$ and $\mathcal{Y}$, that partially confirm conjectures by Knyazev and Argentati.

The spectral spread of Hermitian matrices

Let $A$ be a $n\times n$ complex Hermitian matrix and let $\lambda(A)=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n)\in \mathbb{R}^n$ denote the eigenvalues of $A$, counting multiplicities and arranged in non-increasing order. Motivated by problems arising in the theory of low rank matrix approximation, we study the spectral spread of $A$, denoted $\text{Spr}^+(A)$, given by $\text{Spr}^+(A) =(\lambda_1-\lambda_{n}\, , \, \lambda_2-\lambda_{n-1},\ldots, \lambda_{k}-\lambda_{n-k+1})\in \mathbb{R}^k$, where $k=[n/2]$ (integer part). The spectral spread is a vector-valued measure of dispersion of the spectrum of $A$, that allows one to obtain several submajorization inequalities. In the present work we obtain inequalities that are related to Tao's inequality for anti-diagonal blocks of positive semidefinite matrices, Zhan's inequalities for the singular values of differences of positive semidefinite matrices, extremal properties of direct rotations between subspaces, generalized commutators and distances between matrices in the unitary orbit of a Hermitian matrix.

Majorization bounds for Ritz values of self-adjoint matrices

A priori, a posteriori, and mixed type upper bounds for the absolute change in Ritz values of self-adjoint matrices in terms of submajorization relations are obtained. Some of our results prove recent conjectures by Knyazev, Argentati, and Zhu, which extend several known results for one dimensional subspaces to arbitrary subspaces. In addition, we improve Nakatsukasa's version of the $\tan \Theta$ theorem of Davis and Kahan. As a consequence, we obtain new quadratic a posteriori bounds for the absolute change in Ritz values.
