The discrete Fourier transform's Gaussian-like eigenvector
I have the $N$x$N$ matrix below where $N$ is a power of 2 (usually 64 or 256) and $\omega = 2\pi/N$. What is its largest eigenvalue?

Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction?
Let $\epsilon>0$ be small. Let $\eta(t) = \frac{2\epsilon}{\epsilon^2+(2\pi t)^2}$ (the Fourier transform of $x\mapsto e^{-\epsilon |x|}$). Let $V$ be the space of integrable, bounded functions $f:\...
