The eigenvectors of adding a particular rank one matrix to the circulant matrix

Suppose that $e_1, \cdots, e_n$ are the standard vectors of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$. Let us consider the backward shift operator $T:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^n$ given by $Te_k=e_{k-1}$ ...

Eigenvectors of the symmetric tridiagonal matrices whose entries above the diagonal are all the same

Let us consider the real symmetric tridiagonal matrix $T=(t_{kl})$ in $M_n(\mathbb{R})$ with $$t_{1,2}=t_{2,3}=\cdots=t_{n-1,n}=1$$ How can we compute the eigenvectors of $T$?

On the eigen vectors of a diagonalizable matrix

Let us consider the space $M_n(\mathbb{C})$. By a unitary matrix $U=(u_{ij})$ we mean that $U^{-1}=(\overline{u_{ji}})$. Q. Let $U$ be a unitary matrix. I am looking for the pairs of matrices $(D,A)$ ...

Any generic way to move a psd matrix to its neighbors?

Given a two positive matrices $A,B$. For simplicity, let's assume that $Tr A=Tr B=1$. Assume that $\|A-B\|_1\leq\varepsilon$, for some small $\varepsilon>0$, where $\|\cdot\|_1$ is the $l_1$-norm, ...

When is this matrix singular?

Consider matrix $A$ with $(j,k)$′th entry $A_{j,k}=\sin(\omega_j t_k+\phi_j),\,\forall j,k\in\{1,2,...,n\}$, where $\omega_j,t_k,\phi_j\in \mathbf R$. 1) For $t_k=k$, what is the condition on $\...
