implies
ξ(Ai)=l+r=ξ(Bi)=r+ξ(Ri).(4.20)
This implies that $\xi(R_i) = l$, and, since $l \ge 1$, that $R_i$ is singular, and that $l \le b+r$.
Consequently, there exists a matrix $(X_i | Y_i)$ of rank $l$ with $X_i \in \mathbb{R}^{b \times l}$ and
$Y_i \in \mathbb{R}^{r \times l}$, such that
Ri(XiYi)=0,(4.21)
or, equivalently,
(Ib+U(Σ−σi∗In)U)Xi+UWiYi=0(4.22)
WiUXi=0.(4.23)
Computation of the Eigenvectors. Given the null space $(X_i | Y_i)$ of $R_i$
(a discussion of how it can be computed will be deferred for the moment), define
Z^i:=(Σ−σi∗In)UXi+WiYi∈Rn×t.(4.24)
The columns of $\hat{Z}_i$ form a set of $l$ linearly independent eigenvectors of $S$ corre-
sponding to $\sigma_i^*$. Because of (4.23) and (4.17)
(Σ+UU−σi∗In)Z^i=UXi+UU(Σ−σi∗In)UXi+UUWiYi=U((Ib+U(Σ−σi∗In))U)Xi+UWiYi=0according to (4.22).
Because of
rank(Z^i)=l,(4.25)
the columns of $\hat{Z}_i$ span the whole eigenspace corresponding to $\sigma_i^*$. (4.25) can
be proved indirectly. Assume, that rank($\hat{Z}_i$) < $l$. Then there must be another
eigenvector $z_i \in \mathbb{R}^n$ with
∥zi∥2=1,ziZ^i=0,
and
(Σ+UU−σi∗In)zi=0.(4.26)
Premultiplication with $U (\Sigma - \sigma_i^* I_n)$ implies
(Ib+U(Σ−σi∗In)U)Uzi−UWiWizi=0.(4.27)
At the same time, (4.26) implies
UUzi=−(Σ−σi∗In)zi,(4.28)
and premultiplication by $W_i$ (using(4.17)) yields
WiUUzi=−Wi(Σ−σi∗In)zi=0.(4.29)
