First, in the case of $2 times 2$ real symmetric interval matrices, all the four endpoints of the two eigenvalue intervals are determined. These are not necessarily eigenvalues of vertex matrices, but it is shown that such a real symmetric interval matrix can be constructed from the original one. Then, necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for the disjointness of eigenvalue intervals. In the general $ntimes n$ case, due to Hertz, a set of special vertex matrices determines the maximal eigenvalue and a similar statement holds for the minimal one. In a special case, namely if the right endpoints of the off-diagonal intervals are not smaller than the absolute value of the left ones, he concluded the vertex matrix of the right endpoints provides the maximal eigenvalue. Generalizing it, it is shown that in the case of real symmetric interval matrices with special sign pattern, a single vertex matrix determines one of the extremal bounds.","PeriodicalId":50540,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66372396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The $mathcal{E}$-eigenvalues of $G$ are the eigenvalues of $mathcal{E}(G)$. The largest modulus of an eigenvalue is the $mathcal{E}$-spectral radius of $G$. The $mathcal{E}$-energy of $G$ is the sum of the absolute values of all $mathcal{E}$-eigenvalues of $G$. In this article, we study some of the extremal problems for eccentricity matrices of complements of trees and characterize the extremal graphs. First, we determine the unique tree whose complement has minimum (respectively, maximum) $mathcal{E}$-spectral radius among the complements of trees. Then, we prove that the $mathcal{E}$-eigenvalues of the complement of a tree are symmetric about the origin. As a consequence of these results, we characterize the trees whose complement has minimum (respectively, maximum) least $mathcal{E}$-eigenvalues among the complements of trees. Finally, we discuss the extremal problems for the second largest $mathcal{E}$-eigenvalue and the $mathcal{E}$-energy of complements of trees and characterize the extremal graphs. As an application, we obtain a Nordhaus-Gaddum-type lower bounds for the second largest $mathcal{E}$-eigenvalue and $mathcal{E}$-energy of a tree and its complement.","PeriodicalId":50540,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42122440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A real matrix $Q$ is row orthogonal if $QQ^T = I$. The Strong Inner Product Property (SIPP), introduced in [B.A. Curtis and B.L. Shader, Sign patterns of orthogonal matrices and the strong inner product property, Linear Algebra Appl. 592: 228-259, 2020], is an important tool when determining whether a sign pattern allows row orthogonality because it guarantees there is a nearby matrix with the same property, allowing zero entries to be perturbed to nonzero entries, while preserving the sign of every nonzero entry. This paper uses the SIPP to initiate the study of conditions under which random sign patterns allow row orthogonality with high probability. Building on prior work, $5times n$ nowhere zero sign patterns that minimally allow orthogonality are determined. Conditions on zero entries in a sign pattern are established that guarantee any row orthogonal matrix with such a sign pattern has the SIPP.","PeriodicalId":50540,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48563133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noting that the $n$ diagonal entries of $operatorname{adj}(G)$ are precisely the elements of $operatorname{mathcal{PD}}(G)$, we investigate variants of the PRP in which multisets containing entries from $operatorname{adj}(G)$ successfully reconstruct the characteristic polynomial of $G$.
