COMMENTS
|
Note that if the rows are rotated left instead of right, the sign of the terms for which n = 0 or 3 (mod 4) is reversed. The n eigenvalues of these circulant matrices lie on the circle of radius 2(2^n - 1)/3 centered at x = (2^n - 1)/3, y = 0. This sequence can be generalized to bases other than 2 and similar results are true.
