Some new perturbation bounds for both weighted unitary polar factors and generalized nonnegative polar factors of the weighted polar decompositions are presented without the have the same rank. These bounds improve the restriction that A and its perturbed matrix A corresponding recent results. 1. Introduction Let Cm×n , Crm×n , C≥m , C>m , and In denote the set of m × n complex matrices, subset of Cm×n consisting of matrices with rank r, set of the Hermitian nonnegative definite matrices of order m, subset of C≥m consisting of positive-definite matrices and n × n unit matrix, respectively. Without specification, we always assume that m > n >max{r, s} and the given weight matrices M ∈ C>m , N ∈ C>n . For A ∈ Cm×n , we denote by RA, rA, A∗ , A#MN † N −1 A∗ M, AMN , A and AF the column space, rank, conjugate transpose, weighted conjugate transpose or adjoint, weighted Moore-Penrose inverse, unitarily invariant norm, † and Frobenius norm of A, respectively. The definitions of A#MN and AMN can be found in details in 1, 2. The weighted polar decomposition MN-WPD of A ∈ Cm×n is given by A QH, 1.1 where Q is an M, N weighted partial isometric matrix 3, 4 and H satisfies NH ∈ C≥n . In this case, Q and H are called the M, N weighted unitary polar factor and generalized nonnegative polar factor, respectively, of this decomposition. 2 Journal of Applied Mathematics Yang and Li 5 proved that the MN-WPD is unique under the condition # RH. R QMN 1.2 In this paper, we always assume that the MN-WPD satisfies condition 1.2. If M Im and N In , then the MN-WPD is reduced to the generalized polar decomposition and Q and H are reduced to the subunitary polar factor and nonnegative polar factor, respectively. Further, if rA n, then the MN-WPD is just the polar decomposition and Q and H are just the unitary polar factor and positive polar factor. The problem on estimating the perturbation bounds for both polar decomposition and generalized polar decomposition under the assumption that the matrix and its perturbed matrix have the same rank 6–15 attracted most attention, and only some attention was given without the restriction 16, 17. However, the arbitrary perturbation case seems important in both theoretical and practical problems. Now we list some published bounds have the same for generalized polar decomposition without the restriction that A and A rank. A E ∈ Csm×n have the generalized polar decompositions A Let A ∈ Crm×n , A Q H. For the perturbation bound of the subunitary unitary polar factors, the QH and A following two results can be found in 16 Q − Q ≤ F 1 EF , min{σr , σs } √ 2 † 2 † 2 2 2 E EA .

H − H ≤ σ1 A† E σ1 A EA EA σ1 σ1 1.5 1.6 It is known that different elements of a vector are usually needed to be given some different weights in practice e.g., the residual of the linear system, and the problems with weights, such as weighted generalized inverses problem and weighted least square problem, draw more and more attention, see, for example, 1, 2, 18, 19. As a generalization of the generalized polar decomposition, MN-WPD may be useful for these problems. Therefore, it is of interest to study MN-WPD and its related properties. Our goal of this paper is mainly to generalize the perturbation bounds in 1.3–1.6 to those for the weighted polar factors of the MN-WPDs in the corresponding weighted norms. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we list notation and some lemmas which are useful in the sequel. In Section 3, we present an absolute perturbation bound and a relative perturbation bound for the weighted unitary polar factors, respectively, and some perturbation bounds for the generalized nonnegative polar factors are also given in Section 4. Journal of Applied Mathematics 3 2. Notation and Some Lemmas Firstly, we introduce the definitions of the weighted norms. Definition 2.1. Let A ∈ Cm×n . The norms AMN M1/2 AN −1/2 and AFMN M1/2 AN −1/2 F are called the weighted unitarily invariant norm and weighted Frobenius norm of A, respectively.

A, The following three lemmas can be found from 22, 23 and 16, respectively. Lemma 2.2. Let B1 and B2 be two Hermitian matrices and let P be a complex matrix. Suppose that there are two disjoint intervals separated by a gap of width at least η, where one interval contains the spectrum of B1 and the other contains that of B2 . If η > 0, then there exists a unique solution X to the matrix equation B1 X − XB2 P and, moreover, X ≤ 1 P . η 2.4 Lemma 2.3.
