The spectra of preconditioned Toeplitz matrix sequences can have gaps
Different than for the case of Toeplitz matrix sequences , , we can prove that the closure of the union of all the spectra of preconditioned matrix sequences of the form , , , can have gaps if the essential range of f/g is not connected. The result has important consequences on the practical use of band Toeplitz preconditioners widely used in the literature both for (multilevel) ill-conditioned positive definite and (multilevel) indefinite Toeplitz linear systems
