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

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 $\...
