On k-circulant matrices with the Lucas numbers

Abstract

Let k be a nonzero complex number. In this paper, we determine the eigenvalues of a k-circulant matrix whose first row is (L1,L2,..., Ln), where Ln is the nth Lucas number, and improve the result which can be obtained from the result of Theorem 7. [28]. The Euclidean norm of such matrix is obtained. Bounds for the spectral norm of a k-circulant matrix whose first row is (L-11, L-12,..., L-1n ) are also investigated. The obtained results are illustrated by examples.
