Derived eigenvalues of symmetric matrices, with applications to distance geometry (Q919061): Difference between revisions

Let \(A\in R^{n\times n}\) and j be the all-one vector of dimension n. The derived eigenvalues of the symmetric matrix A are the zeros of \(P_ A(s)=-j^ Tadj (Is-A)j\). With this notion a new characterization for the embeddability of a finite metric space into Euclidean space is given. In more detail the particular case of two-distance sets is discussed.
