Eigenpairs of a family of tridiagonal matrices: three decades later (Q2179852)

This is a brief survey, where the authors review some important applications of the eigenpairs formulas for a family of tridiagonal matrices based on the paper of \textit{L. Losonczi} [Acta Math. Hung. 60, No. 3--4, 309--322 (1992; Zbl 0771.15004)] and show that several recent problems have been solved with reference to the paper of \textit{W.-C. Yueh} [Appl. Math. E-Notes 5, 66--74 (2005; Zbl 1068.15006)], which was published after Losonczi's paper [loc. cit.].
