Spectral extrema for the Loewner thresholds #
On a positive definite matrix M, the scalar Loewner thresholds specMin M and
specBound M are the attained minimum and maximum Hermitian eigenvalues of M, and
they equal the L2 operator norms of M⁻¹ and M respectively; for a positive
continuous-functional-calculus power of M the two thresholds are the corresponding
scalar powers of the originals. These spectral identities provide the
projective-distance and geometry-update comparisons used in l.projective.step and in
the finite run of p.global.selection.
On positive definite matrices, the upper Loewner threshold is the attained maximum Hermitian eigenvalue.
On positive definite matrices, the lower Loewner threshold is the attained minimum Hermitian eigenvalue.
On positive definite matrices, the lower Loewner threshold is strictly positive.
For positive definite matrices, the upper Loewner threshold is Mathlib's L2 operator norm.
The L2 operator norm of a positive CFC power is the corresponding power of the upper spectral threshold.
The L2 operator norm of the inverse of a positive CFC power is the inverse corresponding power of the lower spectral threshold.
