Given an n × n square matrix A of real or complex numbers, an eigenvalue λ and its associated generalized eigenvector v are a pair obeying the relation [1] =,where v is a nonzero n × 1 column vector, I is the n × n identity matrix, k is a positive integer, and both λ and v are allowed to be complex even when A is real.l When k = 1, the vector is called simply an eigenvector, and the pair ...
Once the eigenvalues are computed, the eigenvectors could be calculated by solving the equation (), = using Gaussian elimination or any other method for solving matrix equations. However, in practical large-scale eigenvalue methods, the eigenvectors are usually computed in other ways, as a byproduct of the eigenvalue computation.
This equation is called the eigenvalue equation for T, and the scalar λ is the eigenvalue of T corresponding to the eigenvector v. T(v) is the result of applying the transformation T to the vector v, while λv is the product of the scalar λ with v. [37] [38]
The following discussion uses the simplest case, where the system has two lumped springs and two lumped masses, and only two mode shapes are assumed. Hence M = [m 1, m 2] and K = [k 1, k 2]. A mode shape is assumed for the system, with two terms, one of which is weighted by a factor B, e.g. Y = [1, 1] + B[1, −1].
Typically, the method is used in combination with some other method which finds approximate eigenvalues: the standard example is the bisection eigenvalue algorithm, another example is the Rayleigh quotient iteration, which is actually the same inverse iteration with the choice of the approximate eigenvalue as the Rayleigh quotient corresponding ...
In matrix theory, Sylvester's formula or Sylvester's matrix theorem (named after J. J. Sylvester) or Lagrange−Sylvester interpolation expresses an analytic function f(A) of a matrix A as a polynomial in A, in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A. [1] [2] It states that [3]
Let the resulting eigenvalues be ordered from the smallest (lowest), λ 1, to the largest (highest), λ N. Let the same eigenvalue equation be solved using a basis set of dimension N + 1 that comprises the previous N functions plus an additional one. Let the resulting eigenvalues be ordered from the smallest, λ ′ 1, to the largest, λ ′ N+1.
The index j represents the jth eigenvalue or eigenvector and runs from 1 to . Assuming the equation is defined on the domain [,], the following are the eigenvalues and normalized eigenvectors. The eigenvalues are ordered in descending order.
