Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues [PDF]

open access: possible, 1986
This chapter gives the basic elementary properties of eigenvectors and eigenvalues. We get an application of determinants in computing the characteristic polynomial. In §3, we also get an elegant mixture of calculus and linear algebra by relating eigenvectors with the problem of finding the maximum and minimum of a quadratic function on the sphere ...

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors

1987
In this chapter we describe numerical techniques for the calculation of a scalar λ and non-zero vector x in the equation $$ Ax = \lambda x $$ (4.1) where A is a given n × n matrix. The quantities λ and x are usually referred to as an eigenvalue and an eigenvector of A.

Eigenvectors of Graphs [PDF]

open access: possible, 1986
Abstract : This grant has supported work in several areas. 1) A study of graph eigenvectors shows connections to graph structure in ways that are reminiscent of eigenfunctions of the laplacian operator in two or three dimensions. Methods developed in this study have also led to estimates of the maximum possible value for the kth eigenvalue of a graph ...

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

1969
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In general, it is very difficult to find the eigenvalues of a matrix. First, the characteristic equation must be obtained. For the matrices of high order, this in itself is a lengthy task. Once the characteristic equation is determined, it must be solved for its roots.

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors

2007
Eigenvalues and the associated eigenvectors of an endomorphism of a vector space are defined and studied, as is the spectrum of an endomorphism. The characteristic polynomial of a matrix is considered and used to define the characteristic polynomial of the endomorphism of a finitely-generated vector space.

Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues

1997
Gaussian elimination plays a fundamental role in solving a system Ax = b of linear equations. In order to solve a system of linear equations, Gaussian elimination reduces the augmented matrix to a (reduced) row-echelon form by using elementary row operations that preserve row and null spaces.

Unless otherwise noted, we will assume throughout this chapter that all vector spaces are finite dimensional.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

1993
This chapter introduces and, to a limited extent, solves one of the classical problems associated with linear processes: their decomposition into well-behaved, independent component subprocesses. What is especially noteworthy and exciting about the material is that it uses all of the major concepts introduced so far, including the representation of ...

Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues [PDF]

open access: possible, 1995
We are still in the midst of considering the following problem: given a vector space V finitely generated over a field F and given an endomorphism α of V, we want to find a basis for V relative to which α can be represented in a “nice” manner. In Chapter 10 we saw that if V has a basis composed of eigenvectors of α then, relative to that basis, α is ...
