An n-by-n real symmetric matrix $ H=[h_{i,j}] $ H = [ h i , j ] is said to be a Hankel matrix if $ h_{i,j}=h_{i-1,j+1} $ h i , j = h i − 1 , j + 1 , for each $ i=2,\ldots,n $ i = 2 , ... , n and $ j=1,\ldots,n-1 $ j = 1 , ... , n − 1. The symmetric nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (SNIEP) asks when a list $ \Lambda =\{\lambda _{1},\ldots,\lambda _{n}\} $ Λ = { λ 1 , ... , λ n } of real numbers is the spectrum of an n-by-n symmetric nonnegative matrix H. In this paper, we search for conditions on the list $ \Lambda =\{\lambda _{1},\ldots,\lambda _{n}\} $ Λ = { λ 1 , ... , λ n } for the matrix H to be Hankel. For n = 3, sufficient conditions are established. In particular, a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained if Λ is a list of three nonnegative numbers. Also, if $ \sum _{i=1}^{n}\lambda _{i}=0 $ ∑ i = 1 n λ i = 0 , we give conditions for realizability by a Hankel matrix. Finally, we present a special type of list that can serve as the spectrum of a Hankel nonnegative matrix with positive trace. Several of our results are constructive and provide a Hankel realizing matrix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An n × n matrix C is said to be centrosymmetric if it satisfies the relation JCJ = C, where J is the n × n counteridentity matrix. Centrosymmetric matrices have a rich eigenstructure that has been studied extensively in the literature. Many results for centrosymmetric matrices have been generalized to wider classes of matrices that arise in a wide variety of disciplines. In this paper, we obtain interesting spectral properties for nonnegative centrosymmetric matrices. We show how to change one single eigenvalue, two or three eigenvalues of an n × n nonnegative centrosymmetric matrix without changing any of the remaining eigenvalues, the nonnegativity, or the centrosymmetric structure. Moreover, our results allow partially answer some known questions given by [Guo W. Eigenvalues of nonnegative matrices. Linear Algebra Appl. 266;1997:261–270] and by [Guo S, Guo W. Perturbing non-real eigenvalues of non-negative real matrices. Linear Algebra Appl. 426;2007:199–203]. Our proofs generate algorithmic procedures that allow one to compute a solution matrix.

In this paper, for a simple undirected connected graph G, the concept of the distance Randić matrix of G is defined and basic properties on its spectrum are derived. Moreover, the distance Randić energy of G is introduced. Bounds on this energy are obtained and for those which are sharp the extremal graphs are characterized. Finally, for α ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] , the concept of α - distance Randić matrix of G is studied and bounds on its energy are obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
