Abstract

The ε-pseudospectrum of a matrix A is the subset of the complex plane consisting of all eigenvalues of complex matrices within a distance ε of A, measured by the operator 2-norm. Given a nonderogatory matrix A0, for small ε > 0, we show that the ε-pseudospectrum of any matrix A near A0 consists of compact convex neighborhoods of the eigenvalues of A0. Furthermore, the dependence of each of these neighborhoods on A is Lipschitz.
