Abstract
The aim of this article is to present a brief overview of spectral perturbation theory for matrices, bounded linear operators and holomorphic operator-valued functions. We focus on bounds for perturbed eigenvalues, eigenvectors and invariant subspaces and provide simplified proofs of some well known results. We present a comprehensive perturbation analysis of invariant subspaces of matrices. For bounded linear operators we discuss, among other things, the effect of analytic perturbation on the discrete eigenvalues and spectral projections. We also briefly discuss analytic spectral perturbation theory for holomorphic operator-valued functions.
