In linear algebra, the rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the vector space generated (or spanned) by its columns. [1] [2] [3] This corresponds to the maximal number of linearly independent columns of A. This, in turn, is identical to the dimension of the vector space spanned by its rows. [4]
Suppose the eigenvectors of A form a basis, or equivalently A has n linearly independent eigenvectors v 1, v 2, ..., v n with associated eigenvalues λ 1, λ 2, ..., λ n. The eigenvalues need not be distinct. Define a square matrix Q whose columns are the n linearly independent eigenvectors of A,
Let A be a square n × n matrix with n linearly independent eigenvectors q i (where i = 1, ..., n).Then A can be factored as = where Q is the square n × n matrix whose i th column is the eigenvector q i of A, and Λ is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the corresponding eigenvalues, Λ ii = λ i.
The Sylvester–Gallai theorem, on the existence of a line with only two of n given points. Sylvester's determinant identity. Sylvester's matrix theorem, also called Sylvester's formula, for a matrix function in terms of eigenvalues. Sylvester's law of inertia, also called Sylvester's rigidity theorem, about the signature of a quadratic form.
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]
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 ...
If a 2 x 2 real matrix has zero trace, its square is a diagonal matrix. The trace of a 2 × 2 complex matrix is used to classify Möbius transformations. First, the matrix is normalized to make its determinant equal to one. Then, if the square of the trace is 4, the corresponding transformation is parabolic.
As stated in the introduction, for any vector x, one has (,) [,], where , are respectively the smallest and largest eigenvalues of .This is immediate after observing that the Rayleigh quotient is a weighted average of eigenvalues of M: (,) = = = = where (,) is the -th eigenpair after orthonormalization and = is the th coordinate of x in the eigenbasis.
