AI总结:

摘要:

我们研究了一族n×n三对角实对称矩阵$\{A_n\\_n=1^{\infty}$。在推导出该族矩阵特征多项式的三项递推关系后,我们得到了其闭式解。研究发现这些特征多项式的系数以极具预测性的方式涉及帕斯卡三角的对角元。最后,我们探究了该族不同矩阵的特征值之间的关系,具体给出了自然数$m,n$满足$\texttt{spec}(A_m)$包含于$\texttt{spec}(A_n)$的一个充分条件。论文末尾提出了若干开放问题,其中一个以涉及椭圆的有趣方式将我们的特征多项式与斐波那契数列关联起来。

英文摘要:

We explore a certain family $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of $n \times n$ tridiagonal real symmetric matrices. After deriving a three-term recurrence relation for the characteristic polynomials of this family, we find a closed form solution. The coefficients of these characteristic polynomials turn out to involve the diagonal entries of Pascal's triangle in a tantalizingly predictive manner. Lastly, we explore a relation between the eigenvalues of various members of the family. More specifically, we give a sufficient condition on the values $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$ for when $\texttt{spec}(A_m)$ is contained in $\texttt{spec}(A_n)$. We end the paper with a number of open questions, one of which intertwines our characteristic polynomials with the Fibonacci sequence in an intriguing manner involving ellipses.
