Abstract The nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (NIEP) is the problem of finding conditions for the existence of an n × n entrywise nonnegative matrix A with prescribed spectrum Λ = {λ1, . . ., λn}. If the problem has a solution, we say that Λ is realizable and that A is a realizing matrix. In this paper we consider the NIEP for a Toeplitz realizing matrix A, and as far as we know, this is the first work which addresses the Toeplitz nonnegative realization of spectra. We show that nonnegative companion matrices are similar to nonnegative Toeplitz ones. We note that, as a consequence, a realizable list Λ= {λ1, . . ., λn} of complex numbers in the left-half plane, that is, with Re λi≤ 0, i = 2, . . ., n, is in particular realizable by a Toeplitz matrix. Moreover, we show how to construct symmetric nonnegative block Toeplitz matrices with prescribed spectrum and we explore the universal realizability of lists, which are realizable by this kind of matrices. We also propose a Matlab Toeplitz routine to compute a Toeplitz solution matrix.

We show that using Dunford-Taylor’s integral, a classical tool of functional analysis, it is possible to derive an expression for the inverse of a general non-singular complex-valued tridiagonal matrix. The special cases of Jacobi’s symmetric and Toeplitz (in particular symmetric Toeplitz) matrices are included. The proposed method does not require the knowledge of the matrix eigenvalues and relies only on the relevant invariants which are determined, in a computationally effective way, by means of a dedicated recursive procedure. The considered technique has been validated through several test cases with the aid of the computer algebra program Mathematica©.

AbstractIt is known that the generating function f of a sequence of Toeplitz matrices {Tn(f)}n may not describe the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues of Tn(f) if f is not real. In this paper, we assume as a working hypothesis that, if the eigenvalues of Tn(f) are real for all n, then they admit an asymptotic expansion of the same type as considered in previous works, where the first function, called the eigenvalue symbol $\mathfrak {f}$ f , appearing in this expansion is real and describes the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues of Tn(f). This eigenvalue symbol $\mathfrak {f}$ f is in general not known in closed form. After validating this working hypothesis through a number of numerical experiments, we propose a matrix-less algorithm in order to approximate the eigenvalue distribution function $\mathfrak {f}$ f . The proposed algorithm, which opposed to previous versions, does not need any information about neither f nor $\mathfrak {f}$ f is tested on a wide range of numerical examples; in some cases, we are even able to find the analytical expression of $\mathfrak {f}$ f . Future research directions are outlined at the end of the paper.

Context. The detection of asymptotic solar g-mode parameters was the main goal of the GOLF instrument onboard the SOHO space observatory. This detection has recently been reported and has identified a rapid mean rotation of the solar core, with a one-week period, nearly four times faster than all the rest of the solar body, from the surface to the bottom of the radiative zone. Aim. We present here the detection of more g modes of higher degree, and a more precise estimation of all their parameters, which will have to be exploited as additional constraints in modeling the solar core. Methods. Having identified the period equidistance and the splitting of a large number of asymptotic g modes of degrees 1 and 2, we test a model of frequencies of these modes by a cross-correlation with the power spectrum from which they have been detected. It shows a high correlation peak at lag zero, showing that the model is hidden but present in the real spectrum. The model parameters can then be adjusted to optimize the position (at exactly zero lag) and the height of this correlation peak. The same method is then extended to the search for modes of degrees 3 and 4, which were not detected in the previous analysis.Results. g-mode parameters are optimally measured in similar-frequency bandwidths, ranging from 7 to 8 μHz at one end and all close to 30 μHz at the other end, for the degrees 1 to 4. They include the four asymptotic period equidistances, the slight departure from equidistance of the detected periods for l = 1 and l = 2, the measured amplitudes, functions of the degree and the tesseral order, and the splittings that will possibly constrain the estimated sharpness of the transition between the one-week mean rotation of the core and the almost four-week rotation of the radiative envelope. The g-mode periods themselves are crucial inputs in the solar core structure helioseismic investigation.
