Is circulant matrix diagonalizable?

In the case of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), we show how it arises naturally out of analysis of circulant matrices. In particular, the DFT can be derived as the change of basis that simultaneously diagonalizes all circulant matrices.

What is circulant matrix with example?

In graph theory, a graph or digraph whose adjacency matrix is circulant is called a circulant graph (or digraph). Equivalently, a graph is circulant if its automorphism group contains a full-length cycle. The Möbius ladders are examples of circulant graphs, as are the Paley graphs for fields of prime order.

Are circulant matrices normal?

Since circulant matrices are normal, their singular values are simply the moduli of their eigenvalues; thus this latter result is essentially a corollary of Theorem 1.

Do circulant matrices commute?

If the product of two symmetric matrices is symmetric, then they must commute. That also means that every diagonal matrix commutes with all other diagonal matrices. Circulant matrices commute. They form a commutative ring since the sum of two circulant matrices is circulant.
