Is the sum of the circulant matrix with a super upper triangular matrix diagonalizable?
By the circulant matrix $C$ in $M_n(\mathbb{R})$, we mean that
$$C=[e_n|e_1|\cdots|e_{n-1}]$$ where $e_1,\cdots,e_n$ are the standard basis vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$. It is well-known that
$$C=\...

What do you call this class of matrices with a unique positive eigenvalue associated to a graph?
I am looking for the name of a class of symmetric matrices $M\in\Bbb R^{n\times n}$ that I can associate to a (finite simple) graph $G=(V,E)$ with $V=\{1,...,n\}$ and that have the following ...

Eigenvalues of directed graph with one outward edge for each vertex
I am concerned with unweighted directed graphs where each node contains exactly one edge pointing to another node, which could be itself. In other words, each row of the adjacency matrix contains one ...

Trace minimization for generalized eigenvalue problem
In [1], it is shown in theorem 1.2 that for symmetric $n \times n$ matrices $A$, $B$, we have
$$
\min_{Y \in Y^*} \text{tr}(Y^TAY) =
\text{tr}(X^TAX) =
\sum_{i=1}^p \lambda_i,
$$
with

Bounding eigenvalues by taking high powers of matrices: history?
Let $A$ be real symmetric matrix. It is a well-known observation that we can bound any eigenvalue $\lambda$ of $A$ by using the fact that
$$\lambda^{2 k} \leq \textrm{Tr} A^{2 k}$$
for any $k\geq 1$. ...

Eigenvalues of the complement of a graph
Let $A$ and $\widetilde A$ be the adjacency matrices of a graph $G$ and of its complement, respectively.
Is there any relation between the eigenvalues of $A + \widetilde A$ and the eigenvalues of $A$ ...

Relation of row sums to largest eigenvalue
I know that the largest eigenvalue of a graph is bounded between the minimal and maximal row sum of the matrix. If I have a $0-1$ symetric matrix (an adjacency matrix) and I know $k$ of the rows have ...

When does a row standardized adjacency matrix have a real spectrum?
A colleague in spatial statistics was looking at a map with about 600 regions. For the application she's considering, the induced adjacency matrix had some undesirable properties (where two regions ...

Lower bound on the eigenvalues of the Laplacian
I am looking for a graph for which $2 d_{i} < \mu_{i}$, for some index $i$, where $\mu_{1} \leq \mu_{2} \leq \dots\leq \mu_{n}$ are the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix $L(G)$ and $d_{1} \leq d_{...

Estimating the shift in the $\lambda_{\max}$ of a matrix under a diagonal perturbation
Given a matrix $A$ and a diagonal matrix $D$, how can we estimate $\lambda_{\max}(A+D) - \lambda_{\max}(A)$? Feel free to make other assumptions about the matrices that they are all symmetric and have ...

Spectrum of an adjacency matrix
The adjacency matrix of a non-oriented connected graph is symmetric, hence its spectrum is real.
If the graph is bipartite, then the spectrum of its adjacency matrix is symmetric about 0. A few ...

Eigenvalues of directed Laplacian matrix $L$ and $DL$, where $D$ is a diagonal matrix with positive entries
I have a weighted Laplacian matrix $L$ of a strongly connected directed graph and a diagonal matrix $D$ with positive entries. Since the graph is directed, $L$ is non-symmetric real. Further, since ...

Connection between eigenvalues of matrix and its Laplacian.
Hello!
There are two definitions of graph spectrum:
1) Eigenvalues of adjacency matrix $A$.
2) Eigenvalues of Laplacian of adjacency matrix ($L$).
Different sources offer different properties based ...
