Convex-Cyclic Matrices, Convex-Polynomial Interpolation & Invariant Convex Sets
Abstract
We define a convex-polynomial to be one that is a convex combination of the monomials $\{1, z, z^2, \ldots\}$. This paper explores the intimate connection between peaking convex-polynomials, interpolating convex-polynomials, invariant convex sets, and the dynamics of matrices. In particular, we use these intertwined relations to both prove which matrices are convex-cyclic while at the same time proving that we can prescribe the values and a finite number of the derivatives of a convex-polynomial subject to certain natural constraints. These properties are also equivalent to determining those matrices whose invariant closed convex sets are all invariant subspaces. Our characterization of the convex-cyclic matrices gives a new and correct proof of a similar result by Rezaei that was stated and proven incorrectly.
