Abstract:
For a bounded function defined on , let be the set of singular values of the (n + 1) x (n + 1) matrix whose (j, k)-entries are equal to
These matrices can be thought of as variable-coefficient Toeplitz matrices orgeneralized Toeplitz matrices. Matrices of the above form can be also thoughtof as the discrete analogue of pseudodifferential operators. Under a certainsmoothness assumption on the function , we prove that
where the constant c1 and a part of c2 are shown to have explicit integralrepresentations. The other part of c2 turns out to have a resemblance to theToeplitz case. This asymptotic formula can be viewed as a generalization ofthe classical theory on singular values of Toeplitz matrices.
