Reference request: "Higher order eigentuples" as generalized eigenvectors?

I stumbled upon a cute generalization of the eigenvalue problem and would like to know if anybody has seen something like this and can provide references. The eigenvalue problem for a square matrix $M$...

Reference request for non-banded Toeplitz matrix

I want to know references that treat the property of eigenvalues and eigenstates of the non-banded Toeplitz matrix. I mean for example, the Toeplitz matrix $A$ whose matrix element is given by $A_{ij}=...

Hölder continuity of spectrum of matrices

Endow $\mathbb{C}^{d \times d}$ with the norm induced by the Euclidean norm on $\mathbb{C}^d$. It is well-known (to those who know it well, I guess) that the spectrum $\sigma(A)$ of a matrix $A \in \...

Formula expressing symmetric polynomials of eigenvalues as sum of determinants

The trace of a matrix is the sum of the eigenvalues and the determinant is the product of the eigenvalues. The fundamental theorem of symmetric polynomials says that we can write any symmetric ...

Eigenvalue density of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix

Let $A_n\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be defined as $$ A_n=\begin{bmatrix} a & b & 0 & \cdots & \cdots & 0 & 0\\ b & a & b & \cdots & \cdots & 0 & 0\\ 0 &...

Eigenvalues of a sequence of matrices involving the divisor function

Let $A_{n,k},k=1,\ldots,n$ be a sequence of $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices where $A_{n,1}=I_n$ and $A_{n,k},\quad 2\leq k\leq n$ be a regularly shifted and scaled matrix, with $P_{n,k}$ an $n\...

Maximum singular value of sum of an Hermitian and an anti-Hermitian matrix

Let $H$ be an $n\times n$ Hermitian matrix and $A$ an $n\times n$ anti-Hermitian matrix, i.e. $H^\dagger = H$, $A^\dagger = -A$. Consider their sum $S= H+A$. Let $\{\sigma_i(S)\}_{i=1,\dots,r}$ denote ...

Eigenvalues of the product of two symmetric matrices

This is mostly a reference request, as this must be well-known! Let $A$ and $B$ be two real symmetric matrices, one of which is positive definite. Then it is easy to see that the product $AB$ (or $BA$...
