Extract

Consider a lambda matrix F(ƛ, δ). This may, for example, result from the equation of motion of a dynamical system, δ being a measure of the magnitude of some possible modification to the system or some other variable parameter. Let λ be an eigenvalue and p’ and q the corresponding left hand and right hand eigenvectors. Then

One wishes to determine the derivatives of ƛ with respect to δ. Expressions for the first two derivatives will be obtained on the assumptions that F is simply degenerate and that ƛ is not a repeated root.
