Abstract

Circulant type matrices have become an important tool in solving differential equations. In this paper, we consider circulant type matrices, including the circulant and left circulant and -circulant matrices with the sum and product of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. Firstly, we discuss the invertibility of the circulant matrix and present the determinant and the inverse matrix by constructing the transformation matrices. Furthermore, the invertibility of the left circulant and -circulant matrices is also discussed. We obtain the determinants and the inverse matrices of the left circulant and -circulant matrices by utilizing the relation between left circulant, and -circulant matrices and circulant matrix, respectively.

1. Introduction

Circulant matrices may play a crucial role for solving various differential equations. In [1], Ruiz-Claeyssen and dos Santos Leal introduced factor circulant matrices: matrices with the structure of circulants, but with the entries below the diagonal being multiplied by the same factor. The diagonalization of a circulant matrix and the spectral decomposition are conveniently generalized to block matrices with the structure of factor circulants. Matrix and partial differential equations involving factor circulants are considered. Wu and Zou in [2] discussed the existence and approximation of solutions of asymptotic or periodic boundary value problems of mixed functional differential equations. They focused on in [2] with a circulant matrix, whose principal diagonal entries are zeroes. In [3], some Routh-Hurwitz stability conditions are generalized to the fractional order case. The authors considered the 1-system CML . They selected a circulant matrix, which reads a tridiagonal matrix. Ahmed and Elgazzar used coupled map lattices (CML) as an alternative approach to include spatial effects in fractional order systems (FOS). Consider the 1-system CML in [4]. They claimed that the system is stable if all the eigenvalues of the circulant matrix satisfy in [4]. Trench considered nonautonomous systems of linear differential equations in [5] with some constraint on the coefficient matrix . One case is that is a variable block circulant matrix. Kloeden et al. adopted the simplest approximation schemes for in [6] with the Euler method, which reads in [6]. They exploited that the covariance matrix of the increments can be embedded in a circulant matrix. The total loops can be done by fast Fourier transformation, which leads to a total computational cost of . Guo et al. concerned on generic Dn-Hopf bifurcation to a delayed Hopfield-Cohen-Grossberg model of neural networks in [7], where denoted an interconnection matrix. They especially assumed is a symmetric circulant matrix. Lin and Yang discretized the partial integrodifferential equation (PIDE) in pricing options with the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method, which constructed the circulant preconditioners. By using FFT, the cost for each linear system is , where is the size of the system in [8]. Lee et al. investigated a high-order compact (HOC) scheme for the general two-dimensional (2D) linear partial differential equation in [9] with a mixed derivative. Meanwhile, in order to establish the 2D combined compact difference (CCD2) scheme, they rewrote in [9] into in [9]. To write the CCD2 system in a concise style, they employed circulant matrix to obtain the corresponding whole CCD2 linear system in [9], whose entries are circulant block.

Circulant type matrices have important applications in various disciplines including image processing, communications, signal processing, encoding, solving Toeplitz matrix problems, and least squares problems. They have been put on firm basis with the work of Davis [10], Jiang and Zhou [11], and Gray [12].

In [13], the authors pointed out the processes based on the eigenvalue of circulant type matrices with i.i.d. entries. There are discussions about the convergence in probability and in distribution of the spectral norm of circulant type matrices in [14]. The -circulant matrices play an important role in various applications as well. For details, please refer to [15, 16] and the references therein. Ngondiep et al. showed the singular values of -circulants in [17]. In [18, 19], the authors gave the limiting spectral distributions of left circulant matrices.

The Fibonacci and Lucas sequences are defined by the following recurrence relations [20, 21], respectively:

For , the first few values of the sequences are given by the following equation:

Let , be the roots of characteristic equation ; then the Binet formulas of the sequences and have the form

Let and , so we can get two new sequences and [22]. The two sequences are defined by the following recurrence relations, respectively:

For , the first few values of the sequences are given by the following equation:

The is given by the formula , where , are the roots of . is given by the formula , where , are the roots of .

Besides, some scholars have given various algorithms for the determinants and inverses of nonsingular circulant matrices [10, 11]. Unfortunately, the computational complexities of these algorithms are very amazing with the order of matrix increasing. However, some authors gave the explicit determinants and inverse of circulant and skew-circulant involving Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. For example, Dazheng gave the determinant of the Fibonacci-Lucas quasicyclic matrices in [20]. Shen et al. considered circulant matrices with Fibonacci and Lucas numbers and presented their explicit determinants and inverses by constructing the transformation matrices [21]. Jaiswal evaluated some determinants of circulant whose elements are the generalized Fibonacci numbers [23]. Lind presented the determinants of circulant and skew-circulant involving Fibonacci numbers [24]. Bozkurt and Tam gave determinants and inverses of circulant matrices with Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers [25].

In [22], the authors gave some determinantal and permanental representations of and and complex factorization formulas. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the explicit determinants and inverse of circulant type matrices by some perfect properties of and .
