A short note on the weighted sub-partition mean of integers. (English) Zbl 1231.05017
Summary: We study weighted sub-partitions $$(i_{1},\dots ,i_l)$$ of positive integers on a number $$n$$ with the greatest sub-partition mean $$\sum _{k=1}^l w(i_k)/l$$, where $$w: \{1,\dots ,n\}\to \mathcal R^+$$ is a weight function. We show that this problem is closely related with the problem of computing the eigenvalue of a Toeplitz matrix in a specific form.
