Let
be a self-adjoint operator in a separable Hilbert space
, admitting
compact resolvent and simple eigenvalues with possibly vanishing isolation distance, and
let
be symmetric and bounded. Consider the self-adjoint operator family
in
defined
by
on
.
A simple criterion is formulated ensuring, for any eigenvalue of
, the
existence to all orders of its perturbation expansion and its asymptotic nature near
, with
estimates independent of the eigenvalue index. An application to a class of
Schrödinger operators is described.
