Questions where the notion matrix has an important or crucial role (for the latter, note the tag matrix-theory for potential use). Matrices appear in various parts of mathematics, and this tag is typically combined with other tags to make the general subject clear, such as an appropriate top-level tag ra.rings-and-algebras, co.combinatorics, etc. and other tags that might be applicable. There are also several more specialized tags concerning matrices.

Eigendecomposition of a summation of matrices

There is nothing useful to say. Consider the decomposition $I=A+(I-A)$. There is no useful relation between the eigenvalues of $I$ and those of $A$.

Full-rank linearly independent matrices

If the characteristic of $\mathbb{F}$ is not two and $E_{i,j}$ $(1\le i,j\le n)$ is the "standard basis", then the matrices $I+E_{i,j}$ are invertible. …

Properties of Graphs with an eigenvalue of -1 (adjacency matrix)?

Despite a lot of effort, there's no interesting characterization of graphs with 0 as an eigenvalue. I do not think as much attention has been paid to $-1$, but I'd be surprised if anything useful cou …

Adjacency matrices of graphs

Combin. 1 which studies $p$-rank of adjacency matrices. … If the adjacency matrices of the graphs mentioned are $A$ and $B$, then B&E note that the Smith normal forms of $A+2I$ and $B+2I$ are different. …

2-norm of the upper triangular "all-ones" matrix

[This may be largely an alternate version of Noam's answer, but the extra context could be interesting.] Let $N$ be the $m\times m$ matrix with $N_{i,i+1}=1$ for $i=1,\ldots,m-1$ and all other entri …

Are there non-isomorphic graphs with rationally orthogonal similar adjacency matrices?

Yes, there are. The smallest pair are the subdivision graph of $K_{1,3}$ and $C_6$ with an isloated vertex. There are many more, look up "Godsil-McKay switching". The original source is at http://cs. …

Computing the multiplicity of an eigenvalue of a 0-1 symmetric matrix...

I suspect there are few short cuts in general and that computing multiplicities for 01-matrices will not be easier than computing them for real symmetric matrices. …

When are the adjacency matrices of non-isomorphic graphs similar?

There is no characterization known of when a graph is determined by its spectrum. The probability that a tree on $n$ is determined by its characteristic polynomial goes to zero as $n$ tends to infinit …

Connection between eigenvalues of matrix and its Laplacian.

Essentially your question is equivalent to asking for the relation between the spectrum of $A+D$ and $A$, where are $A$ is symmetric, $D$ is diagonal and both matrices are real. …
