By definition, we have $\bH(s=0) = \bH$ [or $\bU(s=0) = \bI$] and $\bH^\text{od}(s=\infty) = \bO$.

This implies that the matrix elements of the off-diagonal part decrease in a monotonic way throughout the transformation.
Moreover, the coupling coefficients associated with the highest-energy determinants are removed first as we shall evidence in the perturbative analysis below.
The main drawback of this generator is that it generates a stiff set of ODE which is therefore difficult to solve numerically. \cite{Hergert_2016a}

However, here we will not tackle the full SRG problem but only consider analytical low-order perturbative expressions.
Hence, we will not be affected by this problem. \cite{Evangelista_2014,Hergert_2016}

By applying the SRG to $GW$, our aim is to gradually remove the coupling between the quasiparticle and the satellites resulting in a renormalized quasiparticle equation.
\titou{By applying the SRG to $GW$, our aim is to gradually remove the coupling between the quasiparticle and the satellites resulting in a renormalized quasiparticle equation.}
However, to do so, one must identify the coupling terms in Eq.~\eqref{eq:quasipart_eq}, which is not straightforward.
A way around this problem is to transform Eq.~\eqref{eq:quasipart_eq} to an equivalent upfolded form which elegantly highlights the coupling terms.
Indeed, the $GW$ quasiparticle equation is equivalent to the diagonalization of the following matrix \cite{Bintrim_2021,Tolle_2022}

Equations \eqref{eq:GWlin} and \eqref{eq:quasipart_eq} yield exactly the same quasiparticle and satellite energies but one is linear and the other is not.
The price to pay for this linearity is that the size of the matrix in the former is $\order{K^3}$ while it is only $\order{K}$ in the latter.
We refer to Ref.~\onlinecite{Bintrim_2021} for a detailed discussion of the up/downfolding processes of the $GW$ equations (see also Refs.~\onlinecite{Tolle_2022,Scott_2023}).
