We are given a matrix $S \in \mathbf{S}_n$, an angle $\theta \in \left]-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right[$ and integers $1 \leqslant p < q \leqslant n$ such that $s_{pq} \neq 0$. We define $S' = {}^t R_{p,q}(\theta) S R_{p,q}(\theta)$ and denote its coefficients by $s_{ij}'$.
Suppose in this question that $s_{pq}$ is the coefficient of largest absolute value in $E$.
(a) Show that $\|E'\| \leqslant \rho \|E\|$ where $\rho < 1$ is a constant that we will make explicit.
(b) If we choose the root $t_0$, show furthermore that $\|D' - D\| \leqslant \|E\|$.
Let $W_{\ell} = \bigoplus_{0 \leq i < \ell} \mathbf{C} v_i$ and $a \in \mathbf{C}^*$. We define a linear map $P_a : V \rightarrow V$ by $P_a(v_i) = a^p v_r$ where for $i \in \mathbf{Z}$, we define $r$ and $p$ respectively as the remainder and quotient of the Euclidean division of $i$ by $\ell$; in other words, $i = p\ell + r$ where $0 \leq r < \ell$ and $p \in \mathbf{Z}$. Show that $P_a$ is a projector with image $W_{\ell}$.
We are given a matrix $S \in \mathbf{S}_n$, an angle $\theta \in \left]-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right[$ and integers $1 \leqslant p < q \leqslant n$ such that $s_{pq} \neq 0$. We define $S' = {}^t R_{p,q}(\theta) S R_{p,q}(\theta)$ and denote its coefficients by $s_{ij}'$.
By calculating $\left(s_{qq}' - s_{pp}'\right)^2 - \left(s_{qq} - s_{pp}\right)^2$, show that $$\left|s_{qq}' - s_{pp}'\right| \geqslant \left|s_{qq} - s_{pp}\right|$$
Let $\lambda, \mu \in \mathbf{C}^{\mathbf{Z}}$ and $H \in \mathcal{L}(V)$ defined by $H(v_i) = \lambda(i) v_i$. Show that $H \circ E = q^2 E \circ H$ if and only if for all $i \in \mathbf{Z}, \lambda(i) = \lambda(0) q^{-2i}$.
We are given a matrix $S \in \mathbf{S}_n$, an angle $\theta \in \left]-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right[$ and integers $1 \leqslant p < q \leqslant n$ such that $s_{pq} \neq 0$. We define $S' = {}^t R_{p,q}(\theta) S R_{p,q}(\theta)$ and denote its coefficients by $s_{ij}'$.
From now on, and until the end of the problem, we choose the root $t_0$ of (1) and thus the angle $\theta_0$, mentioned in Question 8b.
(a) Show that $s_{pp} - s_{pp}'$ and $s_{qq}' - s_{qq}$ have the same sign as $s_{qq} - s_{pp}$.
(b) If $1 \leqslant i \leqslant n$, show that $$\left|s_{ii} - s_{qq}'\right| + \left|s_{ii} - s_{pp}'\right| - \left|s_{ii} - s_{pp}\right| - \left|s_{ii} - s_{qq}\right| \geqslant 0$$
We assume that the conditions of question 12 are satisfied and that $\lambda(0) \neq 0$. Show that $H \in \mathrm{GL}(V)$.
We are given a matrix $S \in \mathbf{S}_n$, an angle $\theta \in \left]-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right[$ and integers $1 \leqslant p < q \leqslant n$ such that $s_{pq} \neq 0$. We define $S' = {}^t R_{p,q}(\theta) S R_{p,q}(\theta)$ and denote its coefficients by $s_{ij}'$. From now on we choose the root $t_0$ of (1).
We define $$R = \sum_{i,j=1}^{n} \left|s_{jj} - s_{ii}\right| \quad \text{and} \quad R' = \sum_{i,j=1}^{n} \left|s_{jj}' - s_{ii}'\right|$$
Show that $$R' - R \geqslant 2\left(\left|s_{qq}' - s_{qq}\right| + \left|s_{pp}' - s_{pp}\right|\right) = 2\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left|s_{ii}' - s_{ii}\right|$$
In the Jacobi algorithm, we start with a matrix $\Sigma \in \mathbf{S}_n$ and construct a sequence of symmetric matrices $\Sigma^{(m)}$, whose coefficients are denoted $\sigma_{ij}^{(m)}$, as follows:
  • We set $\Sigma^{(0)} = \Sigma$.
  • When $\Sigma^{(m)}$ is known, we choose a pair $(p_m, q_m)$ with $p_m < q_m$.
  • We then apply the calculations from Part 2 to the matrix $S = \Sigma^{(m)}$ and the pair $(p,q) = (p_m, q_m)$: we form the matrix $S'$ studied in this part, and call it $\Sigma^{(m+1)}$.

We define $$R_m = \sum_{i,j=1}^{n} \left|\sigma_{jj}^{(m)} - \sigma_{ii}^{(m)}\right|, \quad \varepsilon_m = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \left|\sigma_{ii}^{(m+1)} - \sigma_{ii}^{(m)}\right|$$
Verify that $R_{m+1} - R_m \geqslant 2\varepsilon_m$. Deduce that the series $\sum_{m=1}^{\infty} \varepsilon_m$ is convergent.
In the Jacobi algorithm, we start with a matrix $\Sigma \in \mathbf{S}_n$ and construct a sequence of symmetric matrices $\Sigma^{(m)}$, whose coefficients are denoted $\sigma_{ij}^{(m)}$. We decompose $\Sigma^{(m)}$ in the form $D^{(m)} + E^{(m)}$ where $D^{(m)}$ is diagonal and $E^{(m)}$ has zero diagonal.
Show that the sequence $\left(D^{(m)}\right)_{m \in \mathbb{N}}$ is convergent. We denote its limit by $D$.
Let $\left(A^{(m)}\right)_{m \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence in $\mathbf{M}_n$. We assume that for all $m \in \mathbb{N}$, the matrix $A^{(m+1)}$ is similar to $A^{(m)}$.
Show that $A^{(m)}$ is similar to $A^{(0)}$.
Let $\left(A^{(m)}\right)_{m \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence in $\mathbf{M}_n$. We assume that for all $m \in \mathbb{N}$, the matrix $A^{(m+1)}$ is similar to $A^{(m)}$. We further assume that this sequence converges to a diagonal matrix $D$. If $P_m$ denotes the characteristic polynomial of $A^{(m)}$, show that the coefficients of $P_m$ converge to those of the characteristic polynomial of $D$ when $m \rightarrow +\infty$.
Deduce that the characteristic polynomial of $D$ is equal to that of $A^{(0)}$.
Let $\left(A^{(m)}\right)_{m \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence in $\mathbf{M}_n$. We assume that for all $m \in \mathbb{N}$, the matrix $A^{(m+1)}$ is similar to $A^{(m)}$, and that this sequence converges to a diagonal matrix $D$.
Finally, show that the diagonal entries of $D$ are the eigenvalues of $A^{(0)}$. What can be said about their multiplicities?
In the optimal version of the Jacobi algorithm, we choose for each $m$ a pair $(p_m, q_m)$ such that the absolute value of the coefficient $\sigma_{ij}^{(m)}$ is maximal precisely when $(i,j) = (p_m, q_m)$. In other words, $$\forall i < j, \quad \left|\sigma_{ij}^{(m)}\right| \leqslant \left|\sigma_{p_m q_m}^{(m)}\right|$$
Show that as $m \rightarrow +\infty$, the sequence $\left(\Sigma^{(m)}\right)_{m \in \mathbb{N}}$ converges to the diagonal matrix $D$.
In the optimal version of the Jacobi algorithm, we choose for each $m$ a pair $(p_m, q_m)$ such that the absolute value of the coefficient $\sigma_{ij}^{(m)}$ is maximal precisely when $(i,j) = (p_m, q_m)$. In other words, $$\forall i < j, \quad \left|\sigma_{ij}^{(m)}\right| \leqslant \left|\sigma_{p_m q_m}^{(m)}\right|$$
Show then that the diagonal coefficients of $D$ are the eigenvalues of $\Sigma$.

Let $m \in \mathbb{N}$. Show that $$\left\|D - D^{(m)}\right\| \leqslant \frac{\rho^m}{1 - \rho} \left\|E^{(0)}\right\|$$
Based on your answers to the previous questions, give your opinion on the speed of convergence of the $d_{ii}^{(m)}$ to the eigenvalues of $\Sigma$.
