Structured Distance to Normality of Dirichlet–Neumann Tridiagonal Toeplitz Matrices

This paper conducts a rigorous study on the spectral properties and operator-space distances of perturbed Dirichlet–Neumann tridiagonal (PDNT) Toeplitz matrices, with emphasis on their asymptotic behaviors. We establish explicit closed-form solutions for the eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors, highlighting their fundamental importance for characterizing matrix stability in the presence of perturbations. By exploiting the structural characteristics of PDNT Toeplitz matrices, we obtain closed-form expressions quantifying the distance to normality, the deviation from normality.
