Characteristic polynomial, determinant and inverse of a Fibonacci-Sylvester-Kac matrix (Q2236390)

Define an \(n\times n\) matrix \(K=[k_{ij}]\) by \[ k_{ij} =\begin{cases} F_i&\text{if }j=i+1,\\ F_{n+1-i}&\text{if }j=i-1,\\ 0&\text{otherwise}, \end{cases} \] where \(F_n\) is the \(n\)-th Fibonacci number. This paper discusses methods for computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of \(K\). The authors also show that \(K\) is singular if \(n\) is odd and give formulas for \(\det(K)\) and \(K^{-1}\) when \(n\) is even.
