Spectra that are Newton after extension or translation (Q710877)

This paper continues an investigation recently begun by the authors [Linear Algebra Appl. 430, No.~11--12, 3030--3046 (2009; Zbl 1189.15009)] on the study of Newton spectra due to their connection with determinantal inequalities and potential connection with the nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem. Here, the appending of real numbers, and also conjugate pairs, to Newton spectra is studied to understand circumstances in which the Newton inequalities are preserved. Appending to a non-Newton spectrum to achieve the Newton inequalities is also considered. Several examples are considered.
