Smallest eigenvalue of certain PD matrix decreases under sparse perturbation

Let $\omega_1<\dots<\omega_n\in\mathbb{R}$. Then, define $G\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ such that $G_{k\ell}=\frac{1}{1-i(\omega_\ell-\omega_k)}$. For example, if $n=3$ we obtain $$ G=\begin{...

Trace minimization for generalized eigenvalue problem

In [1], it is shown in theorem 1.2 that for symmetric $n \times n$ matrices $A$, $B$, we have $$ \min_{Y \in Y^*} \text{tr}(Y^TAY) = \text{tr}(X^TAX) = \sum_{i=1}^p \lambda_i, $$ with $$ \text{ $X^...

Eigenvector of a nonnegative matrix in closed form

Consider $n\times 1$ vector $\alpha = (\alpha_{1}, ..., \alpha_{n})$, where $0<\alpha_{i}<1$, and $\sum_{i=1}^{n}\alpha_i = 1$. Construct the $n\times n$ zero-diagonal matrix $A$ with $(i,j)$-th ...

Non-asympototic version of Gelfand's formula

Let $A$ be a $n\times n$ matrix. Let $\|A\|$ be the spectral norm of $A$, and $\rho(A)$ be the spectral radius. I am wondering whether the following statement is true. There exists universal ...

Eigenvectors as continuous functions of matrix - diagonal perturbations

The general question has been treated here, and the response was negative. My question is about more particular perturbations. The counterexamples given in the previous question have variations not ...

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 $\...
