A list $\Lambda =\{\lambda_{1},\ldots,\lambda_{n}\}$ of complex numbers is said to be realizable, if it is the spectrum of an entrywise nonnegative matrix $A$. In this case, $A$ is said to be a realizing matrix. $\Lambda$ is said to be universally realizable, if it is realizable for each possible Jordan canonical form (JCF) allowed by $\Lambda$. The problem of the universal realizability of spectra is called the universal realizability problem (URP). Here, we study the centrosymmetric URP, that is, the problem of finding a nonnegative centrosymmetric matrix for each JCF allowed by a given list $\Lambda $. In particular, sufficient conditions for the centrosymmetric URP to have a solution are generated.

It is said that a list $\Lambda =\{\lambda _{1},\ldots ,\lambda _{n}\}$ of complex numbers is realizable, if it is the spectrum of a nonnegative matrix $A$. It is said that $\Lambda $ is universally realizable if it is realizable for each possible Jordan canonical form allowed by $\Lambda$. This work does not contain new results. As its title says, its goal is to show and emphasize the relevance and importance of certain results, by Brauer and Rado, in the study of nonnegative inverse spectral problems. It is shown that virtually all known results, which give sufficient conditions for $\Lambda$ to be realizable or universally realizable, can be obtained from results by Brauer and Rado. Moreover, from these results, a realizing matrix may always be constructed.

Abstract Let Λ = {λ1, λ2, . . ., λ n } be a list of complex numbers. Λ is said to be realizable if it is the spectrum of an entrywise nonnegative matrix. Λ is universally realizable if it is realizable for each possible Jordan canonical form allowed by Λ. Minc ([21],1981) showed that if Λ is diagonalizably positively realizable, then Λ is universally realizable. The positivity condition is essential for the proof of Minc, and the question whether the result holds for nonnegative realizations has been open for almost forty years. Recently, two extensions of the Minc’s result have been proved in ([5], 2018) and ([12], 2020). In this work we characterize new left half-plane lists (λ1 > 0, Re λ i ≤ 0, i = 2, . . ., n) no positively realizable, which are universally realizable. We also show new criteria which allow to decide about the universal realizability of more general lists, extending in this way some previous results.

Abstract A list of complex numbers Λ is said to be realizable, if it is the spectrum of a nonnegative matrix. In this paper we provide a new sufficient condition for a given list Λ to be universally realizable (UR), that is, realizable for each possible Jordan canonical form allowed by Λ. Furthermore, the resulting matrix (that is explicity provided) is permutative, meaning that each of its rows is a permutation of the first row. In particular, we show that a real Suleĭmanova spectrum, that is, a list of real numbers having exactly one positive element, is UR by a permutative matrix.

The nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (NIEP) consists of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a nonnegative matrix with a given list of complex numbers as its spectrum. If the matrix is required to be Leslie (doubly Leslie), the problem is called the Leslie (doubly Leslie) nonnegative eigenvalue inverse problem. In this paper, necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the existence and construction of Leslie and doubly Leslie matrices with a given spectrum are considered.

In this paper, sufficient conditions for the existence and construction of nonnegative matrices with prescribed elementary divisors for a list of complex numbers with nonnegative real part are obtained, and the corresponding nonnegative matrices are constructed. In addition, results of how to perturb complex eigenvalues of a nonnegative matrix while keeping its elementary divisors and its nonnegativity are derived.

Abstract A list of complex numbers Λ = { λ1, . . . , λn} is said to be realizable if it is the spectrum of an entrywise nonnegative matrix, and universally realizable if there exists a nonnegative matrix with spectrum Λ for each Jordan canonical form associated with Λ. The problem of characterizing the lists which are universally realizable is called the nonnegative inverse elementary divisors problem (NIEDP). This is a hard problem, which remains unsolved. A complete solution, if any, is still far from the current state of the art in the problem. In particular, in this paper we consider the NIEDP for generalized doubly stochastic matrices, and give new sufficient conditions for the existence and construction of a solution matrix. These conditions improve those given in [ELA 30 (2015) 704-720]

The Nonnegative Inverse Eigenvalue Problem (NIEP) is the problem of determining necessary and sufficient conditions for a list of $n$ complex numbers to be the spectrum of an entry--wise nonnegative matrix of dimension $n$. This is a very difficult and long standing problem and has been solved only for $n\leq 4$. In this paper, the NIEP for a particular class of nonnegative matrices, namely Leslie matrices, is considered. Leslie matrices are nonnegative matrices, with a special zero--pattern, arising in the Leslie model, one of the best known and widely used models to describe the growth of populations. The lists of nonzero complex numbers that are subsets of the spectra of Leslie matrices are fully characterized. Moreover, the minimal dimension of a Leslie matrix having a given list of three numbers among its spectrum is provided. This result is partially extended to the case of lists of $n > 2$ real numbers.

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.
