Operator norm of some type of discrete Fourier matrix

Let $N$ be a natural number and let $w$ be a complex number. We define the $N\times N$ matrix $C_w=(a_{k,l})_{k,l=1}^N$ as follows, $$ a_{k,l}=\begin{cases}1 & l=k+1\\ w &...

Breakdown of the fourier series identity $e_n e_m = e_{n+m}$ on a perturbed torus

I would like to apologize for leaving things a bit vague. I think my question could be stated much more precisely but right now that is difficult for me to do. I nevertheless think it is an ...

Local energy estimate in a semiclassical regime

Let us consider $h_n=(2n+1)^{-1/2}\to 0$ as $n\to \infty$ be a small parameter, which we just write as $h$ for convenience, and $u_h : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be functions satisfying $Pu_h=0$ (I ...

What is known about the eigenvectors of the $2^n \times 2^n$ Hadamard matrix?

What is known about the eigenvectors of the $2^n \times 2^n$ Hadamard matrix defined recursively by $H_1=(1)$ and $$ H_N=\begin{pmatrix}H_{N/2} & H_{N/2} \\ H_{N/2} & -H_{N/2}\end{pmatrix}, $$ ...

The influence of eigendecomposition on the periodicity of a (rank 2) Hermitian matrix (of functions)

Let $\boldsymbol{R}(u,v);~u,v\in\mathbb{R}$ be a Hermitian matrix (of Hermitian functions) with entries \begin{equation} r_{ij}(u,v) = 1 + Ae^{-2\pi i \phi_{ij}(ul_0 + vm_0)}; A\in\mathbb{R},l_0\in\...

Decay rate of Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequences in frequency

What is the decay rate of DPSS sequences in frequency? Consider an interval $T\subset\mathbb{Z}$ of length N in time. Consider another interval $[-W,W]$ in frequency with $W<1/2$. Let $\phi_0$ ...

Sparse Eigenvectors for the Discrete Fourier Transform matrix

There are many ways to choose eigenbasis for the Discrete Fourier Transform matrix since it has only $4$ distinct eigenvalues taken from $\{\pm 1,\pm i\}$. Has there been any refereed work that ...
