Eigenvalues of Hermitian Toeplitz matrices with smooth simple loop symbols
Abstract The paper presents higher order asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of large Hermitian Toeplitz matrices with moderately smooth symbols which trace out a simple loop on the real line. The formulas are established not only for the extreme eigenvalues, but also for the inner eigenvalues. The results extend and make more precise existing results, which so far pertain to banded matrices or to matrices with infinitely differentiable symbols. Also given is a fixed point equation for the eigenvalues which may be solved numerically by an iteration method.
