In this paper, we consider how eigenvalues of a matrix <i>A</i> change when it is perturbed to ~<i>A</i> = <i>D</i>1<i>AD</i>2 and how singular values of a (nonsquare) matrix <i>B</i> change when it is perturbed to ~<i>B</i> = <i>D</i>1<i>BD</i>2, where <i>D</i>1 and <i>D</i>2 are assumed to be close to unitary matrices of suitable dimensions. We have been able to generalize many well-known perturbation theorems, including Hoffman-Wielandt theorem and Weyl-Lidskii theorem. As applications, we obtained bounds for perturbations of graded matrices in both singular value problems and nonnegative definite Hermitian eigenvalue problems.
