The symbol takes both signs — so Q is genuinely indefinite. Symbol values O(±0.01–0.07). But the generalized eigenvalues were all ≈ −1e-4?? With symbol range ±0.06 and mass symbol h(2/3 + cos θ/3) ~ 0.005·(0.33..1), the generalized eigenvalues should range roughly λ(θ) = sym(θ)/m(θ) ~ ±0.06/0.005 = ±12. But we got all −1e-4! Contradiction — so the constraint projection Z must be doing something drastic, OR my eigenvalue solve had another bug.
Wait — the symbol-to-eigenvalue correspondence holds for the UNCONSTRAINED Toeplitz. The constraint Σc_i = 0 removes only ONE direction — can't change ±12 to −1e-4. So the eigenvalue computation itself was broken! Let me check: eigvalsh(Qz, Mz, subset_by_index=[0,11]) — maybe with mode='complete' fix now Z is fine. Earlier failure was empty Z — that was FIXED. The run that produced −1e-4 used... I fixed mode='complete' BEFORE the successful run. Hmm, but then eigenvalues should reflect ±12 range.
Wait, maybe not: subset_by_index=[0, N_EIG−1] with N_EIG=12 — returns 12 smallest. The 12 smallest should be ≈ min of symbol/mass ~ −12, not −1e-4. Unless... the mass matrix M construction is wrong! M = toeplitz(np.r_[2h/3, h/6, zeros(n−2)]) — toeplitz(c) with c as first column: M[0] = [2h/3, h/6, 0...] — symmetric tridiagonal ✔. M eigenvalues ∈ [h/3, h] ✔ SPD.
Qz = ZᵀQZ: restriction. Its bottom eigenvalue ≥ ... restriction bounds: eigenvalues of ZᵀQZ interlace within [λ_min(Q), λ_max(Q)]. λ_min(Q) ≈ symbol min −0.028. So generalized ≥ −0.028/0.005 ≈ −5.6. But we got −1e-4?!?! IMPOSSIBLE unless Q as passed to spectrum() differs — OH WAIT. In spectrum(): Q = scipy.linalg.toeplitz(q) where q = stiffness_first_col(n_elem, h) with n_elem = 1200, so q has length 1199, matrix 1199×1199 ✔ fine.
Hmm, let me just recompute the eigenvalues directly right now and look at the FULL bottom. Maybe eigvalsh with subset_by_index and generalized has a bug in scipy 1.18?? Test earlier with random matrices returned empty for full call too — that was due to empty Z. Let me now test eigvalsh on the actual Qz, Mz with full spectrum and check min.
The symbol ranges ±0.06, so true generalized eigenvalues should reach ±10 — the computed −1e-4 cluster contradicts even the unconstrained bounds. The eigenvalue solve itself must be misbehaving. Testing directly.
