Relation between the algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue and the subdiagonal elements of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix [closed]

Show that if $T$ is a symmetric tridiagonal matrix and an eigenvalue $\lambda$ has multiplicity $k$, then at least $k−1$ subdiagonal elements of $T$ are zero. If we consider a submatrix $B$ that has ...

In a large sparse matrix, how many eigenvalues/eigenvectors are “spurious”?

In a large (possibly above $5000\times 5000$) matrix, the problem of finding all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be solved using iterative methods (Arnoldi, Lanczos etc.). However, there seems to ...

Solving linear system when one eigenvalue is known

I have a huge sparse linear system $Ax = b$ where I know that an eigenvalue/eigenvector pair is $1$ and a vector of all $1$'s. Can this knowledge help me in solving the linear system at all? It seems ...

Can I find the gap between the two least eigenvalues of this special matrix A(t)?‎

I am interested in finding the gap between the two least eigenvalues of $A(t)$, a Hermitian $N\times N$ sparse ‎matrix whose diagonal elements are $a_it+b_i\,(1\leq i\leq N)$, and all off-diagonal non-...
