Frobenius-Perron eigenvalue and eigenvector of sum of two matrices
Suppose that I have two positive matrices, $A$, and $B$, and I know their Frobenius-Perron eigenvalues ($\lambda_A$, $\lambda_B$) and eigenvectors ($v_A$, $v_B$). I'm interested in what I can say ...

Why are 1 and -1 eigenvalues of this matrix?
This is a subject I've been working on for a very long time now, but still did not manage to fully understand the interesting properties of this matrix $\mathbf{A}$.
First, let's define two matrices:
...

Eigenvalues of a rank-one update of a symmetric matrix
I have a matrix $A$ $(n\times n)$ with eigenvalues $\lambda_i$, then I add another matrix to it as: $A+xx^\top$ where $x$ $(n\times 1)$ is a column vector.
and also $A=yy^\top$ with $y$ a $(n-1)$ rank ...

Can a block matrix with at least 3 zero blocks of different size on the diagonal and 1's everywhere else have only integer eigenvalues?
Let $M=\begin{pmatrix}
\begin{array}{cccccccc}
0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 &1\\
0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 &1\\
1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & ...
