Piecewise defined recursive sequences with application in matrix theory

Saleem Al-Ashhab, James Guyker

Abstract

In this paper we determine periodicity and boundedness of orbits of a piecewise defined difference equation. A corollary is that the real eigenvalues of certain arbitrarily large, sparse matrices may be computed exactly.
