Block Toeplitz Matrices

A block Toeplitz matrix is another special block matrix, which contains blocks that are repeated down the diagonals of the matrix, as a Toeplitz matrix has elements repeated down the diagonal.

A block Toeplitz matrix A has the form

\mathbf{A} = \begin{bmatrix} \mathbf{A}_{(1,1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(1,2)} & & & \cdots & \mathbf{A}_{(1,n-1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(1,n)} \\ \mathbf{A}_{(2,1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(1,1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(1,2)} & & & & \mathbf{A}_{(1,n-1)} \\ & \ddots & \ddots & \ddots & & & \vdots \\ & & \mathbf{A}_{(2,1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(1,1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(1,2)} & & \\ \vdots & & & \ddots & \ddots & \ddots & \\ \mathbf{A}_{(n-1,1)} & & & & \mathbf{A}_{(2,1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(1,1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(1,2)} \\ \mathbf{A}_{(n,1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(n-1,1)} & \cdots & & & \mathbf{A}_{(2,1)} & \mathbf{A}_{(1,1)} \end{bmatrix}.
