Perturbations on the subdiagonals of Toeplitz matrices (Q627959)

Let \(\mathcal L\) be an Hermitian linear functional defined on the linear space of Laurent polynomials. The Gram matrix of the associated bilinear functional in the linear space of polynomials is a Toeplitz matrix. The paper studies some linear spectral transforms of \(\mathcal L\) such that the corresponding Toeplitz matrix is the result of the addition of a constant in a subdiagonal of the initial Toeplitz matrix. In particular it studies a diagonal perturbation of a Toeplitz matrix and necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials with respect to the corresponding linear functional are given. Some analysis of the quasi-definite character of the perturbed linear functional as well as in the explicit expressions of the new monic orthogonal polynomial sequence in terms of the first one. An example when the initial linear functional is given by the normalized Lebesgue measure is shown.
