contents For a square matrix $A$, the resolvent of $A$ at a point $z \in \mathbb{C}$ is defined as $(A-zI )^{-1}$. We consider the set of points $z \in \mathbb{C}$ where the relative difference in 2-norm between the resolvent and the nearest rank one matrix is less than a given number $ε\in (0,1)$. We establish a relationship between this set and the $ε$-pseudospectrum of $A$, and we derive specific results about this set for Jordan blocks and for a class of large Toeplitz matrices. We also derive disks about the eigenvalues of $A$ that are contained in this set, and this leads to some new results on disks about the eigenvalues that are contained in the $ε$-pseudospectrum of $A$. In addition, we consider the set of points $z \in \mathbb{C}$ where the absolute value of the inner product of the left and right singular vectors corresponding to the largest singular value of the resolvent is less than $ε$. We demonstrate numerically that this set can be almost as large as the one where the relative difference between the resolvent and the nearest rank one matrix is less than $ε$ and we give a partial explanation for this. Some possible applications are discussed.

For a square matrix $A$, the resolvent of $A$ at a point $z \in \mathbb{C}$ is defined as $(A-zI )^{-1}$. We consider the set of points $z \in \mathbb{C}$ where the relative difference in 2-norm between the resolvent and the nearest rank one matrix is less than a given number $ε\in (0,1)$. We establish a relationship between this set and the $ε$-pseudospectrum of $A$, and we derive specific results about this set for Jordan blocks and for a class of large Toeplitz matrices.
