The n eigenvalues of these circulant matrices lie on the circle of radius 2(2^n - 1)/ 3 centered at x=(2^n - 1)/3, y=0. This sequence can be generalized to bases other than 2 and similar results are true. %D A086459 Richard Bellman, Introduction to Matrix Analysis, Second Edition, SIAM, 1970, pp. 242-3. %D A086459 Philip J.
