B. Bernhardsson et al., REAL PERTURBATION VALUES AND REAL QUADRATIC-FORMS IN A COMPLEX VECTOR-SPACE, Linear algebra and its applications, 270, 1998, pp. 131-154
A sequence of real numbers connected to a complex matrix is introduced
. It is shown how these real perturbation values can be computed and t
hat they have several properties similar to the singular values. The s
o-called real pseudospectra and real stability radii can be computed u
sing the real perturbation values. The main result concerns the signat
ure of real quadratic forms in complex vector spaces. (C) 1998 Elsevie
