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.

Origins of the Jacobi matrix

I have several questions concerning history of Jacobi matrices. Does anybody know why the Jacobi matrix (=symmetric tridiagonal matrix) is named by Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi? … What is the origin and the history of methods of the investigation of spectral properties of Jacobi matrices? Any suitable reference concerning the above questions would be helpful. Thanks. …

Hankel matrix commuting with a Jacobi matrix

For instance, interesting Hankel matrices correspond to the choice $\alpha_{n}=1/n^{2}$ (or more general powers of $n$) or $\alpha_{n}=1/n!$. Any information related to the post would be useful. …

Is $1/\max(i,j)$ a bounded matrix on Hilbert spaces?

The operator you introduced, say $A$, is bounded indeed. There is a simple proof for this: First, note $A$ can be written as $A=CC^{*}$ where $$C_{i,j}=\begin{cases} \frac{1}{i}, & i\geq j,\\ 0, & i …

A Toeplitz variant of the Hilbert matrix

It is well-known that the Hilbert matrix $H$, i.e., the symmetric Hankel matrix with entries $$H_{m,n}=\frac{1}{m+n-1}, \quad m,n\in\mathbb{N},$$ determines a bounded operator on $\ell^{2}(\mathbb{N …

A relation between norm and spectral radius for some matrix operators on Banach spaces $\ell...

Let $A=(a_{i,j})_{i,j=1}^{\infty}$ be a semi-infinite matrix with real entries. Suppose further that $A$ and $A^{T}$ (matrix transpose) represent bounded operators on $\ell^{p}$ for $p\geq1$. Denote f …

Information on special matrices similar to Jacobi matrices

Jacobi matrices are well known and deeply investigated mathematical objects from various point of view. … So far, I did not find any literature devoted to the study of mathematical properties of these matrices. I am interested in spectral properties of these matrices, in particular. …

The norm of a Finite Hilbert matrix

I think the answer is no, indeed. Even in the particular case $p=2$ the formula is not known (to my best knowledge). Concerning $\|H\|_{2}$, is known $\|H\|_{2}\leq\pi$. More precisely, we have the fo …

Simple Spectrum of Jacobi matrices

In the case of finite or semi-infinite Jacobi matrix, the first entry of an eigenvector uniquely determine other entries since they are related by the tree-term recurrence. This is the reason why the …

Norm of a matrix operator with a special structure

Let $\{\alpha_{n}\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be positive sequence such that $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\alpha_n<\infty.$$ Question: Is there any chance to evaluate the operator norm of the matrix operator $$C=\b …

Eigenvalues of symmetric tridiagonal matrices

Withnout loss of generality, one can put $a=0$. For sure, there is no closed-form (or explicit) formula for the eigenvalues in general. However, at least the characteristic polynomial of $A_n$ can be …
