This book is intended to give a systematic presentation of perturbation theory for linear operators. It is hoped that the book will be useful to students as well as to mature scientists, both in mathematics and in the physical sciences.Perturbation theory for linear operators is a collection of diversified. results in the spectral theory of linear operators, unified more or less. loosely by their common concern with the behavior of spectral properties when the operators undergo a small change. Since its creation by RAYLEIGH and SCHRÖDINGER, the theory has occupied an important place in applied mathematics; during the last decades, it has grown into a mathematical discipline with its own interest. The book aims at a mathematical treatment of the subject, with due consideration of applications. The mathematical foundations of the theory belong to functional analysis. But since the book is partly intended for physical scientists, who might lack training in functional analysis, not even the elements of that subject are presupposed. The reader is assumed to have only a basic knowledge of linear algebra and real and complex analysis. The necessary tools in functional analysis, which are restricted to the most elementary part of the subject, are developed in the text as the need for them arises (Chapters I, III and parts of Chapters V, VI). An introduction, containing a brief historical account of the theory, precedes the main exposition. There are ten chapters, each prefaced by a summary. Chapters are divided into sections, and sections into paragraphs. I-§ 2.3, for example, means paragraph three of section two of chapter one; it is simply written § 2.3 when referred to within the same chapter and par. 3 when referred to within the same section. Theorems, Corollaries, Lemmas, Remarks, Problems, and Examples are numbered in one list within each section: Theorem 2.1, Corollary 2.2, Lemma 2.3, etc. Lemma I-2.3 means Lemma 2.3 of chapter one, and it is referred to simply as Lemma 2.3 within the same chapter. Formulas are numbered consecutively within each section; I-(2.3) means the third formula of section two of chapter one, and it is referred to as (2.3) within the same chapter. Some of the problems are disguised theorems, and are quoted in later parts of the book.
