The first result rests on a Frobenius / Hilbert–Schmidt Lipschitz estimate for the functional
calculus; the second uses a continuous Lipschitz clamp surrogate for the indicator of (c, ∞) to
transfer convergence through the calculus; the third combines the spectral identification with the
Furstenberg–Kesten growth bounds to obtain the inclusion of sublevel sets into slow spaces.
The functional calculus is matrix-limit continuous for Lipschitz functions #
We prove the Frobenius / Hilbert–Schmidt Lipschitz bound: for Hermitian A, B and K-Lipschitz
f, HS_B (cfc f A - cfc f B) ≤ K² HS_B (A - B), where HS_B Y := ∑ⱼ ‖toEuclideanLin Y (vⱼ)‖²
and {vⱼ} is the eigenbasis of B. The per-j bound holds because vⱼ is an eigenvector of B:
expanding in the eigenbasis {uᵢ} of A, ⟪uᵢ, (cfc f A − cfc f B) vⱼ⟫ = (f αᵢ − f βⱼ)⟪uᵢ, vⱼ⟫
and ⟪uᵢ, (A − B) vⱼ⟫ = (αᵢ − βⱼ)⟪uᵢ, vⱼ⟫, so |f αᵢ − f βⱼ| ≤ K |αᵢ − βⱼ| gives it termwise.
The convergence then follows by an injective-linear-map (antilipschitz) sandwich.
Per-eigenvector Frobenius bound: with vⱼ an eigenvector of B, the cfc-difference applied
to vⱼ is controlled (squared norm) by K² times the matrix-difference applied to vⱼ.
The continuous functional calculus of a Lipschitz (hence continuous) function
is continuous under matrix limits of Hermitian matrices: if M n → L with all M n and L
Hermitian, then cfc f (M n) → cfc f L.
The band-projector limit is the Λ-spectral projector #
A continuous clamp surrogate χ for the indicator of (c, ∞): χ = 0 on (-∞, c],
χ = 1 on [c + h, ∞), linear in between, Lipschitz with constant h⁻¹ for h > 0.
Instances For
clampSurrogate c h t = 0 for t ≤ c.
clampSurrogate c h t = 1 for t ≥ c + h.
Every real spectrum value of a Hermitian matrix is one of its sorted eigenvalues
eigenvalues₀.
A.e., for every threshold c > 0 that is not one of the limiting eigenvalues
e^{lamSing i}, the band projector cfc 𝟙_{(c,∞)} (qpow n) converges to the Λ-spectral projector
cfc 𝟙_{(c,∞)} (lambdaHat A T x).
The reverse slow-flag inclusion #
A.e., for every t, the lambdaBar-sublevel at t is contained in the
Λ-slow space vslow (e^t). This is the inclusion consumed by
