I know that the above doesn't exist, but do bear with me. I need estimates/formulas for entries of certain eigenvectors and Cramer's rule keeps popping up in my mind. So, what can play an anlogous rol …

Suppose you have a real symmetric matrix $A$ which is positive except for $a_{ij},a_{ji}$, who are negative. While it is not generally true that the eigenvector of the dominant eigenvalue of $A$ is …

I am wondering if there is something known about the interlacing properties of an "Almost Hermitian" matrix, in the following sense: let A be a nxn matrix so that it has a Hermitian principal minor of …

Suppose that we are given an equation $Ax=b$. The minimum least-squares solution is of course $x_{m}=A^{\dagger}b$. What I want to know is whether there are known bounds on $||x-x_{m}||$. In the probl …

Suppose we have a quadratic eigenvalue problem $(A_{0}+\lambda A_{1}+ \lambda^{2} A_{2})x=0$. I'd to know if there are conditions under which the problem is known to have a small number of distinct ei …

Suppose $A$ is a $n \times m$ matrix and $B$ is a $m \times n$ matrix. Then it is known that $det(I_{n}+AB)=det(I_{m}+BA)$. Is there an analogous identity of the form $det(P_{1}+AB)=det(P_{2}+BA)$, w …

I wonder if there is a "qualitative way" of predicting from the structure ix of the matrix $A$ which entry of $A^{-1}$ will be the largest. I am specially interested in the case that $A$ is a symmetri …

Suppose that $A$ is a positive matrix and that we let $R$ be the diagonal matrix of $A$'s row-sums. What can be said about the spectrum of $R-A$? I am particularly interested in the largest eigenvalue …

I am trying to determine when a certain parametric matrix is inverse-positive (it's actually the one about which I asked in Explicit formula for Cholesky factorization in a special case, but the quest …

I have a $5 \times 5$ parametric nonnegative matrix and want to show that it's stable (in the sense that all eigenvalues are positive). It is not symmetric, but I do know in advance that it has 5 real …

Does the sin-theta theorem imply a componentwise nonasymptotic bound for eigenvectors? Assume, for the purpose of this question, that the eigenvalues concerned are simple. If this is trivial, I apol …

Suppose you have an equation of the form $Hx=Ky$, where $x,y$ are vectors of length $n,m$ respectively ($m>n$) and $H,K$ are matrices of orders $n \times n,n \times m$ respectively. Is there some kind …

Is there a known characterization of such spaces? An example: the space of $n \times n$ matrices spanned by $I$ and $J$ (the identity and all-ones matrices, respectively) is inverse closed by the Sh …

Is there an accepted term for the following property? Let $A$ be a real matrix such that all entries of the eigenvector corresponding to the least eigenvalue have the same sign. NOTES: (1) The case …

I have a positive definite matrix of the form $Q+sI-\alpha J$ ($s>2, 0 < \alpha <1$ and $J$ is the all-ones matrix), where $Q$ is "nice", nonnegative and known. I'd like to know if there is a way to o …
