Consider a Hermitian matrix $\mathbf{A_0} \in \mathbb{C}^{N \times N}$ with one singularity, i.e. its eigenvalues in increasing order are: \begin{equation} 0 < \lambda_2 \leq \lambda_3 \leq \cdots \leq \lambda_N \end{equation} The eigenvector corresponding to $\lambda_k$ is $\mathbf{v_k}$. Now consider a matrix with small entries $\mathbf{\delta A}$ and $\mathbf{A} = \mathbf{A_0} + \mathbf{\delta A}$, let the eigenvalues of $\mathbf{A}$ be \begin{equation} \gamma_1 \leq \gamma_2 \leq \cdots \leq \gamma_N \end{equation} The eigenvector corresponding to $\gamma_k$ is $\mathbf{u_k}$. It is well-known that a $1^{st}$ order perturbation of eigenvalues is \begin{equation} \gamma_k = \lambda_k +\mathbf{v_k^H} \mathbf{\delta A} \mathbf{v_k} + O(\delta^2) \end{equation} There is also a similar expression of $\mathbf{u_k}$ as a function of $\mathbf{v_1} \ldots \mathbf{v_k}$.
The questions are:
1) Is this true for $k = 1$, i.e. can we say $\gamma_1 = \mathbf{v_1^H} \mathbf{\delta A} \mathbf{v_1} + O(\delta^2)$ ? The reason i'm asking this is that i see repeatedly that the matrix $\mathbf{A_0}$ should be positive definite so that the perturbation on eigenvalues hold true.
2) If (1) is true, can we approximate $\mathbf{A}^{-1}$ by $\frac{1}{\gamma_1}\mathbf{u_1}\mathbf{u_1^H} $ ? Is there any formal theory behind this apprxoimation ?
Thank you very much in advance.
