On the Use of Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors in the Phase Problem
Abstract
Karle-Hauptman matrices may be used in an algebraic approach to the phase problem. When eigenvalues and eigenvectors are used, it is possible to obtain structural information from Karle-Hauptman matrices of orders greater than N, despite the fact that the determinants are zero. In this paper, the properties of large Karle-Hauptman matrices are examined in the infinite and non-infinite cases. The characteristics of electron densities corresponding to separate eigenvectors are examined.
