Abstract

We consider the skew circulant and skew left circulant matrices with any continuous Lucas numbers. Firstly, we discuss the invertibility of the skew circulant matrices and present the determinant and the inverse matrices by constructing the transformation matrices. Furthermore, the invertibility of the skew left circulant matrices is also discussed. We obtain the determinants and the inverse matrices of the skew left circulant matrices by utilizing the relationship between skew left circulant matrices and skew circulant matrix, respectively. Finally, the four kinds of norms and bounds for the spread of these matrices are given, respectively.

1. Introduction

Circulant and skew-circulant matrices are appearing increasingly often in scientific and engineering applications. Briefly, scanning the recent literature, one can see their utility is appreciated in the design of digital filters [13], image processing [46], communications [7], signal processing [8], and encoding [9]. They have been put on firm basis with the work of Davis [10] and Jiang and Zhou [11].

The skew circulant matrices as preconditioners for linear multistep formulae- (LMF-) based ordinary differential equations (ODEs) codes. Hermitian and skew-Hermitian Toeplitz systems are considered in [1215]. Lyness and Sørevik employed a skew circulant matrix to construct -dimensional lattice rules in [16]. Spectral decompositions of skew circulant and skew left circulant matrices were discussed in [17]. Compared with cyclic convolution algorithm, the skew cyclic convolution algorithm [8] is able to perform filtering procedure in approximate half of computational cost for real signals. In [2] two new normal-form realizations are presented which utilize circulant and skew circulant matrices as their state transition matrices. The well-known second-order coupled form is a special case of the skew circulant form. Li et al. [18] gave the style spectral decomposition of skew circulant matrix firstly and then dealt with the optimal backward perturbation analysis for the linear system with skew circulant coefficient matrix. In [3], a new fast algorithm for optimal design of block digital filters (BDFs) was proposed based on skew circulant matrix.

Besides, some scholars have given various algorithms for the determinants and inverses of nonsingular circulant matrices [10, 11]. Unfortunately, the computational complexity of these algorithms is very amazing with the order of matrix increasing. However, some authors gave the explicit determinants and inverse of circulant and skew circulant involving some famous numbers. For example, Jaiswal evaluated some determinants of circulant whose elements are the generalized Fibonacci numbers [19]. Lind presented the determinants of circulant and skew circulant involving the Fibonacci numbers [20]. Dazheng [21] gave the determinant of the Fibonacci-Lucas quasicyclic matrices. Shen et al. considered circulant matrices with the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers and presented their explicit determinants and inverses by constructing the transformation matrices [22]. Gao et al. [23] gave explicit determinants and inverses of skew circulant and skew left circulant matrices with the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. Jiang et al. [24, 25] considered the skew circulant and skew left circulant matrices with the -Fibonacci numbers and the -Lucas numbers and discussed the invertibility of the these matrices and presented their determinant and the inverse matrix by constructing the transformation matrices, respectively.

Recently, there are several papers on the norms of some special matrices. Solak [26] established the lower and upper bounds for the spectral norms of circulant matrices with the classical Fibonacci and Lucas numbers entries. İpek [27] investigated an improved estimation for spectral norms of these matrices. Shen and Cen [28] gave upper and lower bounds for the spectral norms of -circulant matrices in the forms of , , and they also obtained some bounds for the spectral norms of Kronecker and Hadamard products of matrix and matrix . Akbulak and Bozkurt [29] found upper and lower bounds for the spectral norms of Toeplitz matrices such that and . The convergence in probability and in distribution of the spectral norm of scaled Toeplitz, circulant, reverse circulant, symmetric circulant, and a class of -circulant matrices is discussed in [30].

Beginning with Mirsky [31], several authors [3238] have obtained bounds for the spread of a matrix.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the explicit determinants, explicit inverses, norm, and spread of skew circulant type matrices involving any continuous Lucas numbers. And we generalize the result [23]. In passing, the norm and spread of skew circulant type matrices have not been researched. It is hoped that this paper will help in changing this. More work continuing the present paper is forthcoming.

6. Conclusion

We discuss the invertibility of the skew circulant type matrices with any continuous Lucas numbers and present the determinant and the inverse matrices by constructing the transformation matrices. The four kinds of norms and bounds for the spread of these matrices are given, respectively. In [3], a new fast algorithm for optimal design of block digital filters (BDFs) is proposed based on skew circulant matrix. The reason why we focus our attention on skew circulant is to explore the application of skew circulant in the related field in medicine image, image encryption, and real-time tracking. On the basis of existing application situation [4], we conjecture that SVD decomposition of skew circulant matrix will play an important role in CT-perfusion imaging of human brain. On the basis method of [8] and ideas of [5], we will exploit real-time tracking with kernel matrix of skew circulant structure. A novel chaotic image encryption scheme based on the time-delay Lorenz system is presented in [6] with the description of circulant matrix. We will exploit chaotic image encryption algorithm based on skew circulant operation.
