Determining Nullspace Basis such that only one column is deleted or added as row is added or deleted, and remaining columns of basis stay the same
I would like to compute, in MATLAB, the basis Z for the nullspace of an m by n matrix A, such that if one row of A is added (resulting in A_a), the basis for A_a is n-m-1 of the n-m columns of Z, i.e.,...

Can the Jordan decomposition of a matrix be computed in a backwards stable way?
Let $PJP^{-1}$ denote the Jordan decomposition of $M$. The matrix $J$ is a direct sum of Jordan blocks; it is unique up to permutation of the Jordan blocks. The matrix $P$ is not unique.
There are two ...

An inequality concerning the solution of a Lyapunov equation
Let $A$ be an Hurwitz stable matrix (i.e. the real part of the eigenvalues of $A$ lie in the left-half plane) and $Q$ be a positive semidefinite matrix ($Q\ge 0$, for short). Let $P>0$ be the ...

Efficient method to determine minimum eigenvalue of $2 \times 2$ block diagonal matrix
Suppose $H$ is a $2 \times 2$ block-diagonal symmetric matrix in $\mathbb{R}^{2^N \times 2^N} $. That is
$$ H = \begin{pmatrix} A_1 & 0 & \cdots & 0\\ 0 & A_2 & \cdots & 0 \\
