= Eigenvalue sensitivity
{title2=$s(\lambda)$}

For unit <left eigenvector> $u$ and <right eigenvector> $v$ of a real matrix at a <simple eigenvalue> $\lambda$, its normwise sensitivity is
$$
s(\lambda)=\frac1{|u^Tv|}.
$$
It measures the first-order amplification of a matrix perturbation into an eigenvalue perturbation.
