Abstract

For a given nonnegative integer $g$, a matrix $A_n$ of size $n$ is called $g$-Toeplitz if its entries obey the rule $A_n=[a_{r-gs}]_{r,s=0}^{n-1}$. Analogously, a matrix $A_n$ again of size $n$ is called $g$-circulant if $A_n=\bigl[a_{(r-g s) \mathrm{mod}\,n}\bigr]_{r,s=0}^{n-1}$. Such matrices arise in wavelet analysis, subdivision algorithms, and more generally when dealing with multigrid/multilevel methods for structured matrices and approximations of boundary value problems. In this paper we study the singular values of $g$-circulants and provide an asymptotic analysis of the distribution results for the singular values of $g$-Toeplitz sequences in the case where $\{a_k\}$ can be interpreted as the sequence of Fourier coefficients of an integrable function $f$ over the domain $(-\pi,\pi)$. Generalizations to the block and multilevel case are also considered.
