Mar 15, 2018 at 21:45 comment added Rodrigo de Azevedo @Creator I am not surprised. My first encounter with Toeplitz matrices was via digital signal processing. I studied the MUSIC algorithm in a "past life", too, but remember nothing, sadly. Thank you for the information.
Mar 15, 2018 at 21:43 comment added Creator @RodrigodeAzevedo Yes, it is purely Engineering application. It is related to the MUSIC algorithm. If your google MUSIC algorithm you should get the idea. It relates to target direction in radar.
Mar 15, 2018 at 20:50 comment added Rodrigo de Azevedo @Creator If I may ask, where did this optimization problem come from? What is its background? Did it have an engineering application, for instance?
Mar 15, 2018 at 20:38 comment added Creator @RodrigodeAzevedo The directions of the Eigenvectors of the such Toeplitz matrix deviates considerably from Eigenvectors of A when the condition number of A is high. I see the comment from Federico regarding Eigenvectors. In any case, is there any other way to get a Toeplitz or put constraint on Eigenvectors?

Mar 15, 2018 at 20:27 comment added Creator @RodrigodeAzevedo Yes, in my first read, I did not understand. Now, I am clear. I have implemented the Toeplitz matrix in this way (your way) few years back for my work, but never knew the method was optimal. Therefore, I was looking for an alternative way to get a Toeplitz matrix. In any case, I am happy to see that the solution can be derived as a minimal norm, so full credit to you. Thanks.

Mar 15, 2018 at 14:08 comment added Rodrigo de Azevedo @FedericoPoloni I used your suggestion and considered also the case where the squared Frobenius norm is minimized. The solution is indeed trivial. Updated my answer.

Appended new section on the Frobenius norm
Mar 15, 2018 at 11:29 comment added Rodrigo de Azevedo @FedericoPoloni Indeed. I didn't know how to answer the original question, so I took the liberty of minimizing the spectral norm of the difference instead.
Mar 15, 2018 at 10:58 comment added Federico Poloni Two matrices that are close in the Euclidean norm do not always have close eigenvector matrices (even after one takes care that these objects are uniquely defined --- see my other comment for this). For instance, $I+\varepsilon A$ and $I+\varepsilon B$ are very close matrices (in the Euclidean norm) that have the same sets of eigenvectors as $A$ and $B$, respectively, for arbitrary $A$ and $B$.

Mar 15, 2018 at 9:30 comment added Rodrigo de Azevedo I don't think you understood my approach. Note that, for $n=3$, $$\begin{bmatrix} x_1 & x_2 & x_3\\ x_2 & x_1 & x_2\\ x_3 & x_2 & x_1\end{bmatrix} = x_1 \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 1& 0\\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix} + x_2 \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0\\ 1 & 0& 1\\ 0 & 1 & 0\end{bmatrix} + x_3 \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 1\\ 0 & 0 & 0\\ 1 & 0 & 0\end{bmatrix}$$
Mar 15, 2018 at 0:33 comment added Creator The question was related to an arbitrary matrix not a sequence of matrix.
