Abstract
Despite the fact that symmetric Toeplitz matrices can have arbitrary eigenvalues, the numerical construction of such a matrix having prescribed eigenvalues remains to be a challenge. A two-step method using the continuation idea is proposed in this paper. The first step constructs a centro-symmetric Jacobi matrix with the prescribed eigenvalues in finitely many steps. The second step uses the Cayley transform to integrate flows in the linear subspace of skew-symmetric and centro-symmetric matrices. No special geometric integrators are needed. The convergence analysis is illustrated for the case of n = 3. Numerical examples are presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
