Solvability of Inverse Eigenvalue Problem for Dense Singular Symmetric Matrices

Abstract

Given a list of real numbers ={λ1,, λn}, we determine the conditions under which will form the spectrum of a dense n × n singular symmetric matrix. Based on a solvability lemma, an algorithm to compute the elements of the matrix is derived for a given list and dependency parameters. Explicit computations are performed for n5 and r4 to illustrate the result.
