In this paper, we present the concept of perturbation bounds for the right eigenvalues of a quaternionic matrix. In particular, a Bauer-Fike-type theorem for the right eigenvalues of a diagonalizable quaternionic matrix is derived. In addition, perturbations of a quaternionic matrix are discussed via a block-diagonal decomposition and the Jordan canonical form of a quaternionic matrix. The location of the standard right eigenvalues of a quaternionic matrix and a sufficient condition for the stability of a perturbed quaternionic matrix are given. As an application, perturbation bounds for the zeros of quaternionic polynomials are derived. Finally, we give numerical examples to illustrate our results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
