Review text

This paper considers banded symmetric matrices which, in addition, exhibit a block Toeplitz structure when considered as being block tridiagonal. (All diagonal blocks are identical as well as all off-diagonal blocks.) Such matrices arise in telecommunication analysis. The paper derives (upper and lower) bounds on the smallest eigenvalues of such matrices. The case where the block dimension is equal to 2 is particularly important, since it also appears in the estimates for higher block dimensions.
