Real Matrices with Real Eigenvalue pre- and Post multiplied by a Diagonal Matrix



Suppose all the eigenvalues of ARn×n (not necessarily symmetric) are real. Let DRn×n be a diagonal matrix with positive diagonals. Prove/disprove that A+D and DAD has only real eigenvalues.


Answer



I played around with Maple and came up with a counterexample. I'm not going to prove it's a counterexample as the mathematics is tedious.



Take

A=(132114127)1(100010003)(132114127),


and
D=(100030001).

Then DAD and A+D has non-real eigenvalues.
