Takeaways

• 😀 Eigenvalues can only be determined from square matrices (2x2 or 3x3).
• 😀 Eigenvalues are scalar values (lambda) for which the equation A * v = lambda * v holds true, where v is the eigenvector.
• 😀 If the equation A * v = lambda * v holds, lambda is the eigenvalue and v is the eigenvector.
• 😀 To find eigenvalues, we solve the characteristic equation: det(A - lambda * I) = 0.
• 😀 If the determinant of (A - lambda * I) is not zero, the equation will have only the trivial solution (v = 0).
• 😀 A nontrivial solution for eigenvalues exists only if the determinant of (A - lambda * I) equals zero.
• 😀 The characteristic equation is a determinant, and solving it gives the eigenvalues.
• 😀 For a 2x2 matrix, the eigenvalues can be found by solving a quadratic equation derived from the characteristic equation.
• 😀 A 3x3 matrix also follows the same steps but involves solving a cubic equation from the determinant.
• 😀 For 3x3 matrices, methods like cofactor expansion or the Sarrus rule can be used to compute the determinant and solve for eigenvalues.

Q & A

What is the definition of an eigenvalue and eigenvector?

An eigenvalue (λ) is a scalar that satisfies the equation A * v = λ * v, where A is a square matrix, v is a non-zero vector (eigenvector), and λ is the eigenvalue. The eigenvector is the vector v that is scaled by the eigenvalue λ under the matrix transformation.

Can eigenvalues be calculated for non-square matrices?

No, eigenvalues can only be determined for square matrices (n x n). This is because the equation A * v = λ * v requires the matrix to be square for it to make sense mathematically.

What is the purpose of manipulating the equation A * v = λ * v?

The equation A * v = λ * v is manipulated by subtracting λ * I (where I is the identity matrix) to form the equation (A - λI) * v = 0. This transformation is necessary to set up a system of linear equations (SPL) and find the eigenvalues.

What is the significance of the determinant of (A - λI) in determining eigenvalues?

The determinant of (A - λI) must be zero for there to be non-trivial solutions (eigenvectors). If the determinant is non-zero, the only solution is the trivial solution (v = 0), which is not valid for eigenvalues.

What does the characteristic equation represent?

The characteristic equation is the determinant of (A - λI) set to zero, i.e., det(A - λI) = 0. This equation helps in finding the eigenvalues (λ) by solving for the roots of the equation.

How do you find the eigenvalues of a 2x2 matrix?

To find the eigenvalues of a 2x2 matrix, subtract λ times the identity matrix from the matrix, find the determinant of the resulting matrix, and solve the resulting characteristic equation (a quadratic equation). The solutions to this equation give the eigenvalues.

What happens if a 2x2 matrix has identical eigenvalues?

If a 2x2 matrix has identical eigenvalues, it is said to have repeated eigenvalues. The matrix still satisfies the characteristic equation, but there may be special properties in the eigenvectors associated with the repeated eigenvalue.

Can a 3x3 matrix have more than one eigenvalue?

Yes, a 3x3 matrix can have up to three eigenvalues. These eigenvalues can be distinct or repeated, depending on the specific matrix.

What is the procedure for finding eigenvalues of a 3x3 matrix?

For a 3x3 matrix, subtract λ times the 3x3 identity matrix from the original matrix, calculate the determinant of the resulting matrix, and solve the resulting characteristic equation, which is typically a cubic equation.

What is the general approach for solving higher-order characteristic equations (like cubic equations)?

For higher-order characteristic equations, such as cubic equations, one common approach is to factor the equation (if possible) or use numerical methods like Horner's method or the Rational Root Theorem to find the eigenvalues.
