Özet
Given a real number a >= 1, let K-n(a) be the set of all n x n unit lower triangular matrices with each element in the interval [-a, a]. Denoting by lambda(n)(center dot) the smallest eigenvalue of a given matrix, let c(n)(a) = min {lambda(n)(YYT) : Y epsilon K-n(a)}. Then root c(n)(a) is the smallest singular value in K-n(a). We find all minimizing matrices. Moreover, we study the asymptotic behavior of c(n)(a) as n -> infinity. Finally, replacing [-a, a] with [a, b], a <= 0 < b, we present an open question: Can our results be generalized in this extension?
