Norm of an operator formed using a unitary operator
Suppose, $ A $ is a unitary matrix in $ M_n(\mathbb{C}) $ given by $ (a_{i,j})_{1\le i,j\le n} $ which has the property that, for all the basis elements $ e_i $, $ Ae_i\ne |\lambda| e_j $ for all $i,j ...

references for families of conditionaly negative definite matrices
We say that a matrix $A\in M_n(\mathbb{C})$ is a conditionaly negative definite matrix if it is hermitian and if for all complex numbers $c_1,\ldots,c_n$ such that $c_1+\cdots +c_n=0$ we have

The norm of a Finite Hilbert matrix
Let $H$ be an $n\times n$ Hilbert matrix,
$$h_{ij}=(i+j-1)^{-1}.$$
The matrix $p$-norm corresponding to the p-norm for vectors is:
$\left \| A \right \| _p = \sup \limits _{x \ne 0} \frac{\left \|...

Weak majorizations for sum of two hermitian matrices
Let $A$ and $B$ be two $n\times n$ hermitian matrices. Does $U^{*}AU+B \prec_{w} A+B$ for any unitary matrix $U$? Here the notation $``\prec_{w}"$ stands for the weak majorization, that is, $x\prec_{...

Smallest eigenvalue for large kernel matrix
I am interested in the the asymptotics of the minimum eigenvalue $\lambda_n^n$ of a class of kernel matrix $P = [ K(x_i - x_j) ]_{i,j}$, with $x_i$ equally spaced in the unit cube of $\mathbb{R}^d$.

Negative eigenvalue of Toeplitz Hermitian matrix?
I am working on estimation of a covariance matrix and I know that the matrix is Toeplitz. The desired matrix should not produce negative eigenvalues at all. However, sometime my estimation leads to a ...

What are good bounds on ratios of subdeterminants?
Let $A$ be a symmetric matrix and $A_i$ be the matrix obtained from $A$ by dropping the $i^{th}$ row and column. Then what are some good bounds on the value of $\frac{det(A_i)}{det(A)}$ ?
Using the ...

Limit of eigenvalues of a matrix perturbation sequence
Suppose $H$ is an $n\times n$ symmetric positive definite matrix, $M_k$ is a sequence of $n \times n$ matrix (not necessarily symmetric) such that $M_k \to O$ where $O$ is the zero matrix. Let $\...

Is a basis that almost diagonalizes a matrix 'close' to its eigenbasis?
Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be diagonalisable (over $\mathbb{C}$) with pairwise distinct eigenvalues $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n\in\mathbb{C}$, and suppose that
$$\tag{1}S^{-1}\cdot A\cdot S = \...
