“…If these vectors are eigenvectors, then their associated eigenvalues are called even and odd, respectively. Drawing on results in [3], it was shown in [6] that, given a real symmetric Toeplitz matrix T of order n, there exists an orthonormal basis for IR n , composed of n − n/2 symmetric and n/2 skew-symmetric eigenvectors of T , where α denotes the integral part of α. In the case of simple eigenvalues, this is easy to see from the fact that, if T u = λu, then T (Ju) = λ(Ju), because JT J = T and J 2 = I.…”
