Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction?

Let $\epsilon>0$ be small. Let $\eta(t) = \frac{2\epsilon}{\epsilon^2+(2\pi t)^2}$ (the Fourier transform of $x\mapsto e^{-\epsilon |x|}$). Let $V$ be the space of integrable, bounded functions $f:\...

Vector recurrences (asymptotic property)

Fix $m\in \mathbb{N}.$ For each $n\in \mathbb{N},$ let $A_n\in \mathbb{M}_{m}(\mathbb{C}),$ $X_n\in \mathbb{C}^m,$ and $B_n\in \mathbb{C}^m.$ Suppose that $$X_{n+1}=A_n X_n+B_n,$$ $$\lim_{n\rightarrow ...

Power of a matrix, largest eigenvalue in absolute value, and convergence acceleration

I want $S^k$, with $S=I-\Lambda^{-1}M$, to tend to zero quite fast as $k\rightarrow \infty$, as this is what drives the convergence in a fixed-point algorithm. Here $M=X^TX$ is a fixed $m\times m$ ...

Monotonicity of eigenvalues II

In a previous question here, I asked the question below for block matrices and received an answer showing the question is true if $\mathcal B$ is hermitian and false, in general if $\mathcal B$ is non-...

Monotonicity of eigenvalues

We consider block matrices $$\mathcal A = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & A\\A^* & 0 \end{pmatrix}$$ and $$\mathcal B = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & B\\C & 0 \end{pmatrix}.$$ Then we define the new matrix $...

Asymptotic for eigenvalues for the following ode?

Consider the following Sturm-Liouville problem, $$(\sqrt{\sin \theta} Y')' + \lambda \sqrt{\sin \theta} Y =0$$ where $Y(\theta):[0,\pi] \to \mathbb{R}$ with boundary conditions $Y'(0)=Y'(\pi)=0.$ I ...

Eigenvalues of operator

In the question here the author asks for the eigenvalues of an operator $$A = \begin{pmatrix} x & -\partial_x \\ \partial_x & -x \end{pmatrix}.$$ Here I would like to ask if one can extend ...

Gap between consecutive Dirichlet eigenvalues

Suppose $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$ is a domain with a Lipschitz boundary and let $\{\lambda_k\}_{k=0}^n$ be the eigenvalues for the Laplacian operator on $\Omega$, that is to say $$ -\Delta \phi_k = ...

Eigenvalues of splitting scheme

In numerical analysis it is common to approximate a solution to a PDE $$u'(t) = (A+B) u(t), \quad u(0)=u_0$$ which is just given by $e^{t(A+B)}u_0$ by the splitting $e^{tB/2} e^{tA} e^{tB/2}u_0.$ Here,...

Asymptotic behavior of a matrix equation and its eigenvalues

We have a matrix valued function $A:\mathbb{R}_+\to \mathbb{R}^{m\times m}$. It is known that $A(\lambda)$ is a positive definite matrix for all $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}_+$ Denoting $\rho_i(A(\lambda))$ ...

Bounding the condition number of a matrix associated with an even symmetric positive definite function

Define a set $A = \{x_i/x_i\in\mathbb{R}^m, i = 1,2,3..n\}$. Let $f:\mathbb{R}^m\to(0,\infty)$ be an even symmetric positive definite function. Let $D = [d_{i,j}]$ be an $n\times n$ matrix such that $...

Common eigenvalues for two Sturm-Liouville problem

Does exist in literature any results concerning the common eigenvalues for the two eigenvalue problems of the form $$y''(x)=\lambda^2 y(x)+\lambda a(x)y(x), \ x\in(0,1), $$$$z''(x)=\lambda^2 z(x)-\...

Checking whether this would be bounded

It may be better to post this question here. Assume that $M$ is an $m$ by $m$ ($m$ is an even number) symmetric positive-semi-definite matrix with exactly $m/2$ positive eigenvalues and every entry of ...
