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 ...

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 $BA$...
