Diagonalizing a symmetric block matrix
Let us consider the matrix
$$ A = \begin{pmatrix} a & c+ib \\ c-ib& a \end{pmatrix},$$
then this matrix has eigenvalues $a\pm \sqrt{c^2+b^2}.$
Now, let us consider a block matrix
$$ A = \begin{...

How close to uniform are Perron-Frobenius eigenvectors?
Let $A=(a_{i,j})$ be a square matrix with non-negative entries. (Assume $A$ is symmetric, if it helps.) Let $v$ be a Perron-Frobenius eigenvector. What do we need to assume about $A$ in order to have ...
