THE EIGENVECTORS OF A COMBINATORIAL MATRIX

THE EIGENVECTORS OF A COMBINATORIAL MATRIX

In this paper, we derive the eigenvectors of a combinatorial matrix whose eigenvalues studied by Kilic and Stanica. We follow the method of Cooper and Melham since they considered the special case of this matrix.
