On Bounds for the Smallest and the Largest Eigenvalues of GCD and LCM Matrices

Abstract

In this paper, we study the eigenvalues of the GCD matrix $(S_n)$ and the LCM matrix $[S_n]$ defined on $S_n=\{1,2,\dots ,n\}$. We present upper and lower bounds for the smallest and the largest eigenvalues of $(S_n)$ and $[S_n]$ in terms of particular arithmetical functions.
