Abstract

A nonsymmetric N × N matrix with elements as certain simple functions of N distinct real or complex numbers r 1, r 2, …, rN is presented. The matrix is special due to its eigenvalues − the consecutive integers 0,1,2, …, N−1. Theorems are given establishing explicit expressions of the right and left eigenvectors and formulas for recursive calculation of the right eigenvectors. A special case of the matrix has appeared in sampling theory where its right eigenvectors, if properly normalized, give the inclusion probabilities of the conditional Poisson sampling design.
