A 2×2 real and symmetric matrix representing a stretching and shearing of the plane. The eigenvectors of the matrix (red lines) are the two special directions such that every point on them will just slide on them. The example here, based on the Mona Lisa, provides a simple illustration. Each point on the painting can be represented as a vector ...
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.
Notation: The index j represents the jth eigenvalue or eigenvector. The index i represents the ith component of an eigenvector. Both i and j go from 1 to n, where the matrix is size n x n. Eigenvectors are normalized. The eigenvalues are ordered in descending order.
In linear algebra, a generalized eigenvector of an matrix is a vector which satisfies certain criteria which are more relaxed than those for an (ordinary) eigenvector. [ 1 ] Let V {\displaystyle V} be an n {\displaystyle n} -dimensional vector space and let A {\displaystyle A} be the matrix representation of a linear map from V {\displaystyle V ...
The generator, or lead vector, p b of the chain is a generalized eigenvector such that (A − λI) b p b = 0. The vector p 1 = (A − λI) b−1 p b is an ordinary eigenvector corresponding to λ. In general, p i is a preimage of p i−1 under A − λI. So the lead vector generates the chain via multiplication by A − λI.
In mathematics, power iteration (also known as the power method) is an eigenvalue algorithm: given a diagonalizable matrix, the algorithm will produce a number , which is the greatest (in absolute value) eigenvalue of , and a nonzero vector , which is a corresponding eigenvector of , that is, =.
The Lanczos algorithm is most often brought up in the context of finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix, but whereas an ordinary diagonalization of a matrix would make eigenvectors and eigenvalues apparent from inspection, the same is not true for the tridiagonalization performed by the Lanczos algorithm; nontrivial additional steps are needed to compute even a single eigenvalue ...
In linear algebra, a defective matrix is a square matrix that does not have a complete basis of eigenvectors, and is therefore not diagonalizable. In particular, an n × n {\displaystyle n\times n} matrix is defective if and only if it does not have n {\displaystyle n} linearly independent eigenvectors. [ 1 ]
