Abstract: Motivated by the conjectures formulated in 2003 by Tunc{c}el et al., we study interlacing properties of the eigenvalues of AotimesB+BotimesA for pairs of n-by-n matrices A,B. We prove that for every pair of symmetric matrices (and skew-symmetric matrices) with one of them at most rank two, the emph{odd spectrum} (those eigenvalues determined by skew-symmetric eigenvectors) of AotimesB+BotimesA interlaces its emph{even spectrum} (those eigenvalues determined by symmetric eigenvectors). Using this result, we also show that when nleq3, the odd spectrum of AotimesB+BotimesA interlaces its even spectrum for every pair A,B. The interlacing results also specify the structure of the eigenvectors corresponding to the extreme eigenvalues. In addition, we identify where the conjecture(s) and some interlacing properties hold for a number of structured matrices. We settle the conjectures of Tunc{c}el et al. and show they fail for some pairs of symmetric matrices A,B, when ngeq4 and the ranks of A and B are at least 3.
