Abstract. We study the asymptotic behavior of individual eigenvalues of the n-by-n truncations of certain infinite Hessenberg Toeplitz matrices as n goes to infinity. The generating function of the Toeplitz matrices is supposed to be of the form a(t) = t, where α is a positive real number but not an integer and f is a smooth function in H ∞ . The classes of generating functions considered here and in a recent paper by Dai, Geary, and Kadanoff are overlapping, and in the overlapping cases, our results imply in particular a rigorous justification of an asymptotic formula which was conjectured by Dai, Geary, and Kadanoff on the basis of numerical computations.MSC 2010.
