Reference request for non-banded Toeplitz matrix

I want to know references that treat the property of eigenvalues and eigenstates of the non-banded Toeplitz matrix. I mean for example, the Toeplitz matrix $A$ whose matrix element is given by $A_{ij}=...

Conditions for distinct nonzero eigenvalues in product DAD for symmetric matrix A with repeated nonzero eigenvalues and diagonal matrix D

Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be an real symmetric matrix with eigenvalues $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \cdots, \lambda_n$ with some of which be nonzero and repeated, i.e., there exist $\lambda_i \ne 0$ ...

Relation between the eigenvalues of a block matrix and the eigenvalues of its diagonal blocks

Consider the $(m+n) \times (m+n)$ block matrix $$M = \begin{bmatrix} A & B \\ C & D \end{bmatrix}$$ I need references where they are talking about the relation between the eigenvalues of $M$ ...

Hölder continuity of spectrum of matrices

Endow $\mathbb{C}^{d \times d}$ with the norm induced by the Euclidean norm on $\mathbb{C}^d$. It is well-known (to those who know it well, I guess) that the spectrum $\sigma(A)$ of a matrix $A \in \...

Eigenvalues of the product of two symmetric matrices

This is mostly a reference request, as this must be well-known! Let $A$ and $B$ be two real symmetric matrices, one of which is positive definite. Then it is easy to see that the product $AB$ (or $BA$...

Is it faster to compute eigenvalues or coefficients of characteristic polynomials?

Given $A \in \mathsf{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ (no special structure) is it (generally) faster to compute its eigenvalues or the coefficients of its characteristic polynomial? References/insights would be ...

Eigenvalue density of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix

Let $A_n\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be defined as $$ A_n=\begin{bmatrix} a & b & 0 & \cdots & \cdots & 0 & 0\\ b & a & b & \cdots & \cdots & 0 & 0\\ 0 &...

Eigenvalues of random matrix conditional on positive definiteness

Consider the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble, considered as a probability measure $\mu$ on the space of real symmetric matrices. Let $\mu|PD$ denote this measure conditioned on the event that the matrix ...

A special eigenvalue problem

For my research I need to solve a generalised eigenvalue problem $Ax=\lambda B x$, where $A$, $B$ are general matrices, and selectively find only eigen-pairs $\lambda, x$ such that $\lambda\in \mathbb{...

Possible values of eigenvalues of Hadamard product of Hermitian matrices

One of the most important (and very well-known) result in the study of the spectrum of Hermitian matrices is Horn's conjecture (or theorem?), which provides a complete answer to the following problem: ...
