Approximation of a continuous curve on commuting matrices
I have a continuous curve $A:\mathbf{R}_+\rightarrow \text{M}_N(\mathbf{R})$ such that
$[A(t),A(s)] \operatorname*{\longrightarrow}_{t,s\rightarrow +\infty} 0$, where $[A(t),A(s)] = A(t)A(s)-A(s)A(t)$....

Continuous path of unitary matrices with prescribed first column?
Consider a continuous curve $u \colon [0,1] \to \mathbb{C}^n$ where $u(t)$ is always a unit vector, $u(t)^* u(t) = 1$.
Question 1: Does there exist a continuous curve $U \colon [0,1] \to \mathbb{C}^{n ...

eigenvalues of matrices (with positive entries)
I am reading an old paper by Kawpien and Pelczynski, Studia Math. 1970. It claims that singular values of a matrix (with positive entries? I am not sure) is given by $t_i=\sqrt{\sum_{j\ge 1}a(i,j)^2}$....

Is it true that $\lVert A\rVert \leq \lVert A^2\rVert$ for $A\in \operatorname{SL}(2, \mathbb{R})$ when $\operatorname{trace}(A)>2$?
$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}\DeclareMathOperator\trace{trace}$Let $A \in \SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $\trace(A)>2$. Is it true that $$\lVert A\rVert \leq \lVert A^2\rVert,$$
where $\lVert \rVert$ is the ...

A question of invertibility of matrices
Let $A$ and $B$ be self-adjoint $n \times n$ matrices. Let $A$ be diagonal. Suppose $A+tB$ and $tA+B$ are invertible for all $t \in \mathbb R$. What can we say about $A$ and $B$?
My guess is that $\...

Matrices Representing Bounded Operators and Absolute Values
Let $A=(a_{ij})_{i,j=1}^{\infty}$ be an infinite matrix of complex numbers. For every positive integer $n$, we shall denote with $A_n$ the $n \times n$ matrix $A_n=(a_{i,j})_{i,j=1}^{n}$, and if $x \...

Asymptotic Behavior of Non-Analytic Function of the Eigenvalues
Hello,
Let $A_n = (a_{k-j};\;k,j = 0,1,\ldots,n-1)$ be a sequence of $n\times n$ Toeplitz matrices, with eigenvalues $(\lambda_{n,i};\;i = 0,1,\ldots,n-1)$.
If $A_n$ were a sequence of Hermitian ...
