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, ...

Eigenvalues of an amplification matrix
Let $A$ and $B$ square real matrices.
I know that the matrix $A+B$ has 1 as eigenvalue of multiplicity 1 and the others eigenvalues have their modulus <1.
Can we say something about the eigenvalues ...
