Operator norm of some type of discrete Fourier matrix
Let $N$ be a natural number and let $w$ be a complex number.
We define the $N\times N$ matrix $C_w=(a_{k,l})_{k,l=1}^N$ as follows,
$$
a_{k,l}=\begin{cases}1 & l=k+1\\
w &...

Theoretical/Practical Implications of DFT Eigenvectors
Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) has only four distinct eigenvalues: $±1$ and $±i$. For large matrices , each eigenvalue $λ$ yields a multidimensional eigenspace, allowing linear combinations of ...

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?
