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=\...

Non-diagonalizability of the adjacency matrix of a directed graph

Let $G$ be a directed graph with no multiple edges or loops and let $P_i$ be its vertices. Let $A$ be the corresponding adjacency matrix of $G$, i.e. $a_{i,j}=1$ if and only if there is a directed ...

The rank of a Laplacian-type matrix

Suppose that $M$ is an integer, symmetric matrix of order $n>2$ with the positive integers $K_1,\dotsc,K_n$ on its main diagonal, and with all the off-diagonal elements equal to $0$ or $1$ so that ...

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 ...

Orthogonality condition of symmetric matrix pencil

Let $P(\lambda)=\lambda M−L\in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ be a matrix pencil with symmetric nonsingular matrix $M$ and $L$ is a weighted Laplacian matrix of a connected graph. Clearly $(0,1_n)$ is an ...

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_{...

Is $L'L_\text{in}+L_\text{in}'L$ positive semi-definite?

Assume that $A$ is the adjacency matrix of a strongly connected directed graph, that is, $A$ is non-negative and irreducible. Let $$L_\text{in}=D_\text{in}-A',\;L=D_\text{in}-A'+D_\text{out}-A$$ where ...

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 ...

Is there a way to simplify this apparently huge characteristic polynomial calculation?

Say I am given the $0/1$ adjacency matrix of an undirected graph. Also I am given a representation $\rho$ of some group $G$ and an orientation has been arbitrarily chosen along each edge. Let $E^{...

Are there good ways of relating a minor to the full determinant?

Say $A$ is a $(n-1)\times (n-1)$ matrix and we augment it by a $n^{th}$ row and a column and get a $n \times n$ matrix $B$. Is there a nice way to relate $det(B)$ and $det(A)$ and the added row and ...

The spectral radius of a modified graph

Let $H$ be a graph and let $G=H \vee K_{1}$ be obtained by creating a new vertex and joining it to every vertex in $H$. This situation has many different names: $G$ is called the cone or the ...
