Is there a way to creat a symmetic Toeplitz matrix of size 400 X 400 with real entries and its largest eigenvalue is 5 and the smallest eigenvalue is -5?

R=fft(eye(400))/sqrt(400);
e=zeros(1,400);
e(2)=-10; e(end-1)=+10;
e=ifftshift(e);
T=(R'*diag(e)*R);
T=real((T+T.')/2);
>> min(eig(T))
ans =
-5.0000
>> max(eig(T))
ans =
5.0000
>> norm(T-T.')
ans =
0

You can use the MATLAB function toeplitz with one input argument (two-input returns a non-symmetric Toeplitz matrix).

@Matt J, thanks for clarifying. When I was looking at this post 2 hours ago, it was only asking for symmetric Toeplitz matrix, without the condition on the eigenvalues.
