Generalization of Mirsky's theorem on diagonals and eigenvalues of matrices

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Mirsky proved that, for the existence of a complex matrix with given eigenvalues and diagonal entries, the obvious necessary condition is also sufficient. We generalize this theorem to matrices over any field and provide a short proof. Moreover, we show that there is a unique companion-matrix-type solution for this problem.
