“…When , i.e., when A has no particular structure, the perturbations that affect the eigenvalue λ of A the most, relative to the norm of the perturbation, are multiples of the rank‐one matrices . The Wilkinson disks for the different eigenvalues are disjoint if the radius t of the disks is smaller than the distance ϵ ∗ from defectivity of the matrix A , Analogously, in case the threshold is the structured distance from defectivity of A , Clearly, ;see, e.g., for details. In the structured case, the rank‐one Wilkinson perturbations are projected as described in Section 3.…”
