Assume $D$ is a diagonal matrix. Are the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of $AA^T$ and $ADA^T$ related in anyway i.e. are the Eigenvectors same, Eigenvalues same, or is their any spectral relationship between these matrices? Also, the diagonal elements of the matrix $D$ are all greater than 1.



PS: I came across this when trying to prove something related to the operator norms of the two matrices. Any suggestions or references would be very helpful. Thanks.

  • Yes. I tried small matrices and it seems that the Eigenvalues of $ADA^T$ are greater than eigenvalues of $AA^T$. But I can't prove this analytically.

  • Note that $ADA^T = (AsqrtD)(AsqrtD)^T$, so you're trying to compare singular values of $A$ and $AsqrtD$, where $sqrtD$ is an essentially arbitrary diagonal matrix consisting of values greater than $1$. I haven't parsed it properly, but maybe this answer might help? math.stackexchange.com/a/1793562/248286

If $ Ain mathbbC^n times n$



We have that



$$A^TA = (U Sigma V^T)^T(U Sigma V^T) = (V^T)^TSigma^T U^T(USigma V^T) $$
now we know that $U^TU= I $
$$V Sigma^T U^T Sigma V^T = V Sigma^T Sigma V^T $$
and
$ Sigma^T Sigma = Sigma^2 $
$$ A^TA = V Sigma^2 V^T = V Lambda V^T$$



Where $ Lambda $ is the matrix of eigenvalues $ VV^T = V^T V = I$



Now



$$ ADA^T = (U Sigma V^T)D(U Sigma V^T)^T $$
$$ AD A^T = (USigma V^T)D(V Sigma U^T) $$



I can't come up any obvious connections other then $D=I$ then the eigenvalues are the same



I can only think of a relation perhaps



$$A^TA = V Lambda V^T $$



$$ |V Lambda V^T | leq | V | Lambda | | V^T |$$
$$ | A^TA| leq | Lambda| =max_1 leq i leq n | | lambda_i|$$



now suppose $D= cI$ where $c$ is a scalar



$$ A^TD A = (VSigma^TU^T cI USigma V^T $$



$$ | A^TDA | leq | V| Sigma^T | |U^T | |cI | | U| | Sigma | |V^T |$$
$$ | A^T D A | leq |Sigma | | cI| | Sigma | $$



Now $ Lambda = Sigma^2$
$$| A^T D A | leq max_1 leq i leq n | |c| max_1 leq i leq n |sigma_i| = |c| max_1 leq i leq n |lambda_i| $$



The eigenvalues are scaled up in this case by the c. Or you can observe at the least the maximum eigenvalue will be?
