Abstract

Let ExA(x)E \ni x\mapsto A(x) be a C\mathscr{C}-mapping with values unbounded normal operators with common domain of definition and compact resolvent. Here C\mathscr{C} stands for CC^\infty, CωC^\omega (real analytic), C[M]C^{[M]} (Denjoy--Carleman of Beurling or Roumieu type), C0,1C^{0,1} (locally Lipschitz), or Ck,αC^{k,\alpha}. The parameter domain EE is either R\mathbb R or Rn\mathbb R^n or an infinite dimensional convenient vector space. We completely describe the C\mathscr{C}-dependence on xx of the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of A(x)A(x). Thereby we extend previously known results for self-adjoint operators to normal operators, partly improve them, and show that they are best possible. For normal matrices A(x)A(x) we obtain partly stronger results.
