ToeplitzMatrix

ToeplitzMatrix[n]

gives the n×n Toeplitz matrix with first row and first column being successive integers.

ToeplitzMatrix[{c1,c2,,cn}]

gives the Toeplitz matrix whose first column consists of entries c1, c2, .

ToeplitzMatrix[{c1,c2,,cm},{r1,r2,, rn}]

gives the Toeplitz matrix with entries ci down the first column, and ri across the first row.

Details and Options

  • Toeplitz matrices typically occur in applications related to approximation theory, signal processing, statistics and time series.
  • A Toeplitz matrix is a matrix that is constant along its diagonals. The entries of the Toeplitz matrix are given by if , and otherwise.
  • The entry r1 must be the same as c1. »
  • ToeplitzMatrix[,TargetStructure->struct] returns the Toeplitz matrix in the format specified by struct. Possible settings include:
  • Automaticautomatically choose the representation returned
    "Dense"represent the matrix as a dense matrix
    "Structured"represent the matrix as a structured array
    "Symmetric"represent the matrix as a symmetric matrix
  • With ToeplitzMatrix[,TargetStructureAutomatic], a dense matrix is returned if the number of matrix entries is less than a preset threshold, and a structured array is returned otherwise.
  • For a structured ToeplitzMatrix sa, the following properties "prop" can be accessed as sa["prop"]:
  • "ColumnVector"vector of entries down the first column
    "RowVector"vector of entries across the first row
    "Properties"list of supported properties
    "Structure"type of structured array
    "StructuredData"internal data stored by the structured array
    "StructuredAlgorithms"list of functions with special methods for the structured array
    "Summary"summary information, represented as a Dataset
  • Normal[ToeplitzMatrix[]] converts the structured Toeplitz matrix to an ordinary matrix.
