Diagonalizing a matrix $A$, that is finding two matrices $P$ and $D$ such that $A = PDP^{-1}$ with $D$ being a diagonal matrix needs two steps: first find the eigenvalues and then find the corresponding eigenvectors. We show that we do not…

Let $x \in S^{n-1}$ be a unit eigenvector of an $n \times n$ random matrix. This vector is delocalized if it is distributed roughly uniformly over the real or complex sphere. This intuitive notion can be quantified in various ways. In these…

We consider graphs for which the non-backtracking matrix has defective eigenvalues, or graphs for which the matrix does not have a full set of eigenvectors. The existence of these values results in Jordan blocks of size greater than one,…

A square matrix is called stochastic (or row-stochastic) if it is non-negative and has each row sum equal to unity. Here, we constitute an eigenvalue localization theorem for a stochastic matrix, by using its principal submatrices. As an…
