An elementary proof is given that some well-known formulae for derivatives of eigenvalues of matrix-valued functions hold under weaker hypotheses than are required by the usual proofs. The relationship between continuous and finite perturbations is also discussed.

✦ Synopsis
The notion of capacity of a subspace which was introduced in [16] is used to prove new estimates on the shift of the eigenvalues which arises if the form domain of a self-adjoint and semibounded operator is restricted to a smaller subspace. The upper bound on the shift of the spectral bound given in [16] is improved and another lower bound is proved which leads to a generalization of Thirring's inequality if the underlying Hilbert space is an L 2 -space. Moreover we prove a similar capacitary upper bound for the second eigenvalue. The results are applied to elliptic constant coefficient differential operators of arbitrary order. Finally it is given a capacitary characterization for the shift of the spectral bound being positive which works for operators with spectral bound of arbitrary type.

## Abstract This paper presents an examination of the methods for the iterative modal perturbation and the application of these methods to the reanalysis of the eigenvalue problem. The iteration is based on the first‐order modal perturbation. In two examples, it is shown that the iterative analysis
