Eigenvalues of two positive-definite Toeplitz matrices

Consider two positive-definite Toeplitz matrices $M_1$ and $M_2$ both with dimension $2^j \times 2^j$. Their matrix elements are: $$M_1[x,y] = \frac{\text{sin}(\pi(x-y)/2^j)}{\pi(x-y)} \qquad M_2[x,y] ...

Spectral theorem and diagonal expansion for self adjoint operators

Asked by a physicist: In physics we use the fact that, given a self adjoint operator $A$, every element in Hilbert space can be written as "generalized linear combination" of the eigenstates ...

Diagonalization of Hermitian Matrix Polynomials

I have a question on the decomposition of polynomial matrices. Suppose $A(\lambda) = \sum_{j=0}^L \lambda^j A_j$ is an $n \times n$ matrix of polynomials, which is Hermitian on the real axis $\lambda ...
