Monotonicity of eigenvalues

We consider block matrices $$\mathcal A = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & A\\A^* & 0 \end{pmatrix}$$ and $$\mathcal B = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & B\\C & 0 \end{pmatrix}.$$ Then we define the new matrix $...

Differentiability of eigenvalue and eigenvector on the non-simple case

Let $h:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m, n>1$ be a twice continuously differentiable function and $J_h:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ be its jacobian matrix. Let us consider the functions $A(x):=...

The discrete Fourier transform's Gaussian-like eigenvector

I have the $N$x$N$ matrix below where $N$ is a power of 2 (usually 64 or 256) and $\omega = 2\pi/N$. What is its largest eigenvalue? $\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 &...

Sum of Square of the Eigenvalues of Wishart Matrix

Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times d}$ matrix with iid standard normal entries, and $m\geqslant d$, and define $S=A^T A$. I want to have a tight upper bound for $\sum_{k=1}^d \lambda_k^2$, where $\...
