In exercise [1, p. 34 exercise 2.7] it is requested to find the inverse of the real symmetric Toeplitz matrix
\mathbf{A} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
   1 & { - a} & {a^2 }  \\
   { - a} & 1 & { - a}  \\
   {a^2 } & { - a} & 1  \\
\end{array}} \right] (1)

and show that it is symmetric and persymmetric. read the conclusion >
In problem [1, p. 34 exercise 2.6] we are asked to prove that if \mathbf{A} and \mathbf{B} are complex n\times n Hermitian matrices and \mathbf{A}-\mathbf{B} is positive semidefinite, then \left[\mathbf{A}\right]_{ii} \geq \left[\mathbf{B}\right]_{ii} . read the conclusion >
