In this article, we derive simple formulations of the eigenvalues, determinants, and also the inverse of circulant matrices whose entries in the first row form an arithmetic sequence. The formulation of the determinant and inverse is based on elementary row and column operations transforming the matrix to an equivalent diagonal matrix so that the formulation is obtained easily. Meanwhile, for the eigenvalues formulation, we simplify the known result of formulation for the general circulant matrices by exploiting the properties of the cyclic group induced by the set of all roots of as the set of points in the unit circle in the complex plane, and also by considering the specific property of arithmetic sequence. Then, we construct an algorithm for the eigenvalues formulation. This algorithm shows a better computation compared to the previously known result for the general case of circulant matrices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
