In this paper, for a class of perturbed Toeplitz periodic tridiagonal (PTPT) matrices, some properties, including the determinant, the inverse matrix, the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors, are studied in detail. Specifically, the determinant of the PTPT matrix can be explicitly expressed using the well-known Fibonacci numbers; the inverse of the PTPT matrix can also be explicitly expressed using the Lucas number and only four elements in the PTPT matrix. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be obtained under certain conditions. In addition, some algorithms are presented based on these theoretical results. Comparison of our new algorithms and some recent works is given. Numerical results confirm our new theoretical results and show that the new algorithms not only can obtain accurate results but also have much better computing efficiency than some existing algorithms studied recently.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
