We present a procedure which enables the computation and the description of structures of isotropy subgroups of the group of complex orthogonal matrices with respect to the action of *congruence on Hermitian matrices. A key ingredient in our proof is an algorithm giving solutions of a certain rectangular block (complex-alternating) upper triangular Toeplitz matrix equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Cayley transform of a matrix A , C (A) = (I + A) − 1 (I − A) , has been investigated in the contexts of skew-symmetry, eigenvalue mapping and as a factorization technique for several matrix positivity classes. Here, we extend the discussion to Cayley transforms of almost skew-Hermitian matrices, positive definite matrices, semipositive matrices, as well as subclasses of the M -matrices, H -matrices and their inverses.

Let λ j and a j j , 1 ≤ j ≤ n , be the eigenvalues and the diagonal entries of a Hermitian matrix A , both enumerated in the increasing order. We prove some inequalities that are stronger than the Schur majorisation inequalities ∑ j = 1 r λ j ≤ ∑ j = 1 r a j j , 1 ≤ r ≤ n. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we determine the underlying graphs of the mixed graphs with smallest Hermitian eigenvalue greater than − 3. Furthermore, we characterize all mixed graphs on n ≥ 11 vertices with smallest Hermitian eigenvalue greater than − 3. The mixed graphs on n ≤ 10 vertices with smallest Hermitian eigenvalue greater than − 3 could be also obtained easily with the help of computer because their underlying graphs are determined. Roughly speaking, we completely determine the mixed graphs with smallest Hermitian eigenvalue greater than − 3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Yoopyo Hong proved in 1989 that each Hermitian matrix A is orthogonally *congruent to a matrix of the form ε 1 A 1 ⊕ ⋯ ε r A r ⊕ B 1 ⊕ ⋯ ⊕ B s , in which A 1 , ... , A r , B 1 , ... , B s are uniquely determined by the orthogonal *congruence class of A, and ε 1 , ... , ε r ∈ { 1 , − 1 }. We prove that ε 1 , ... , ε p are uniquely determined by the orthogonal *congruence class of A as well. As an application, we present a canonical form of a pair (A , B) consisting of a Hermitian matrix A and a nonsingular symmetric matrix B with respect to transformations (S ⁎ A S , S T B S) with a nonsingular S.

In the block version of the classical two-sided Jacobi method for the Hermitian eigenvalue problem, the off-diagonal elements of iterated matrix A (k) converge to zero. However, this fact alone does not necessarily guarantee that A (k) converges to a fixed diagonal matrix. The same is true for the matrix of accumulated unitary transformations Q (k). We prove that under certain assumptions A (k) indeed converges to a fixed diagonal matrix, whose diagonal elements are the eigenvalues of the input matrix A. Next it is shown that for a simple eigenvalue the corresponding column of Q (k) converges to the corresponding eigenvector. For a multiple eigenvalue or a cluster of eigenvalues, we prove that the orthogonal projectors constructed from the corresponding columns of Q (k) converge to the orthogonal projector onto the eigenspace corresponding to those eigenvalues. Moreover, the appropriate convergence bounds are obtained for all discussed cases. Convergence results are also valid for the parallel block-Jacobi method with dynamic ordering. The developed theory is illustrated by numerical example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
