eigenvalues of the product of a unitary with a diagonal
In $M_n(\mathbb{C})$, suppose $U$ and $D$ are a unitary and an invertible diagonal matrix with eigenvalues $\{e^{i\theta_1},\cdots,e^{i\theta_n}\}$ and $\{e^{i\eta_1},\cdots,e^{i\eta_n}\}$ ...

Is a basis that almost diagonalizes a matrix 'close' to its eigenbasis?
Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be diagonalisable (over $\mathbb{C}$) with pairwise distinct eigenvalues $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n\in\mathbb{C}$, and suppose that
$$\tag{1}S^{-1}\cdot A\cdot S = \...

Error bounds on the expansion of square root of matrix
I'm working on a problem and was lead to trying to find an approximation for the square root of a matrix. I came across a way of doing this using holomorphic functional calculus. However, my first ...

Link between eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix and a functional space
Let $f_1,\dots,f_n \in L^2(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$ be $n$ mutually orthogonal functions with $\int f^2_i =1$ such that $|\{x \in \mathbb{R} | f_i(x) = 0\}| = 0$ for any $i \in \{1, \dots,n\}$. Does ...

Span of a nonlinear function
Fix vectors $x,y\in\mathbb{R}^d$ and a smooth function $\phi:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. Define $\phi^d: \mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^d$ as applying $\phi$ entrywise (i.e. $\phi^d(x_1, ...

Does AX+XA=0 have any non-trivial solutions?
Let $X$ be a continuous linear self-adjoint operator on some Hilbert space $H$ and for arbitrary compact operators $A$ we have: $XA+AX=0.$ Does this imply that $X=0$ or can there be non-trivial ...

Hadamard product (Schur product) in $L^2[0,1]$
Let's consider the separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H} = L^2[0,1]$ of square-integrable functions on the interval $[0,1]$ with orthonormal basis $(e_j)$. For $x,y \in \mathcal{H}$, the Hadamard ...

Comparison of Parameter estimation using maximum likelihood and Maximum entropy
I am not sure if the question is appropriate but I want to try my luck. One can estimate a parameter using maximum likelihood and we know it is optimal. On the other hand there are methods which uses ...

Checking whether this would be bounded
It may be better to post this question here. Assume that $M$ is an $m$ by $m$ ($m$ is an even number) symmetric
positive-semi-definite matrix with exactly $m/2$ positive eigenvalues
and every entry of ...
