What is the limit of $a (n + 1) / a (n)$?

Let $a(n) = f(n,n)$ where $f(m,n) = 1$ if $m < 2 $ or $ n < 2$ and $f(m,n) = f(m-1,n-1) + f(m-1,n-2) + 2 f(m-2,n-1)$ otherwise. What is the limit of $a(n + 1) / a (n)$? $(2.71...)$

Lower bound on the entries of the Perron vector

Let $A$ be a matrix that satisfies all the conditions of Perron- Frobenius theorem. From the theorem it is known that the entries of the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue will be ...

Nontrivial lower bound on the sum of matrix norms

Let $X, V\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times r}$ such that $X^\top V$ is symmetric. The central quantity I care about is \begin{equation} \|XV^\top\|_{F}^2+\|X^\top V\|_{F}^2 +[\text{Tr}(X^\top V)]^2. \end{...

Distance of low-rank matrices to the identity for the $\infty$-norm

I am trying to get a lower bound (or even the exact value) of $$ \min_{X \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}} \|X - I_n\|_{\infty} \enspace \text{s.t.} \enspace \mbox{Rank}(X) = m $$ where $m \leq n$, and the ...

Possible lower bound in quantum many body system with non-local terms

I am asking a question related to Lieb-Robinson bound and nonlocality. As we know from Lieb-Robinson theorem (see e.g. http://arxiv.org/abs/1008.5137): Suppose a Hamiltonian system is local, i.e. $H=\...

How to find upper and lower bound

Let $\Sigma \in S_{++}^n$ be a symmetric positive definite matrix with all diagonal entries equal to one. Let $U \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times k_1}$, $W \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times k_2}$, $\Lambda \in \mathbb{...

Extension of the Gershgorin circle theorem for symmetric matrices and localization of positive eigenvalues

In mathematics, the Gershgorin circle theorem can be used to localize eigenvalues of a matrix (including symmetric). Let $A$ be a real symmetry $n × n$ matrix, with entries $a_{ij}$. For $i∈{1,…,n}$ ...

Gershgorin-type bounds for smallest eigenvalue of positive-definite matrix

I would like to know if there are known results for bounding eigenvalues of positive-definite matrices, in particular gram matrices $AA^\top$ based on easily computable functions of $A$. Gershgorin ...

A lower-bound on matrix-function with vector product

I am currently trying to show that a sequence of homeomorphisms converges to some limiting homeomorphism using Anderson's the inductive convergence criterion. However I can't explicitly compute the ...

Survey papers on spectral radius [closed]

Let $M$ be a $n\times n$ matrix. Are there any survey papers which give lower and upper bounds on its spectral radius? What are the ways to find some lower bounds and upper bounds on $\rho(M)$ ...

Lower-bound smallest eigenvalue of covariance matrix of $y = f(Ax)$, for $x$ uniform on unit-sphere

Let $A=(a_1,\ldots,a_)$ be a fixed $k \times d$ matrix (with $d$ large), and $x$ be a random vector uniformly distributed on the unit-sphere in $\mathbb R^d$. Let $f:\mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ be a ...
