Interpreting positive semidefinite matrix as a graph
Given any symmetric matrix $S \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, if $S \succeq 0$, is there a way to encode $S$ into a graph such that it takes into account the positive semidefinite constraint, and ...

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=\...
