Spectrum localization of a perturbed operator in a strip and applications

Abstract

Let $A$ and $\tilde{A}$ be bounded operators in a Hilbert space. We consider the following problem: let the spectrum of $A$ lie in some strip. In what strip the spectrum of $\tilde{A}$ lies if $A$ and $\tilde{A}$ are »close«? Applications of the obtained results to integral operators and matrices are also discussed. In addition, we apply our perturbation results to approximate the spectral strip of a Hilbert-Schmidt operator by the spectral strips of finite matrices.
