Questions tagged [eigenvalues-eigenvectors]

Eigenvalues are numbers associated to a linear operator from a vector space $V$ to itself: $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $T\colon V\to V$ if the map $x\mapsto \lambda x-Tx$ is not injective. An eigenvector corresponding to $\lambda$ is a non-trivial solution to $\lambda x - Tx = 0$.

Given a matrix $Z\in\Bbb R^{n\times n}$, write $Z\succ0$ to mean that $\langle v,Zv\rangle>0$ when $v\ne0$. (We may say that $Z$ is positive definite, but note that $Z$ is not required to be ...

I am looking for the spectrum (adjacency or Laplacian) of the graph where vertices are labelled $1,2,..,n$ and $i$ and $j$ are adjacent if $|i-j|\le d$. The adjacency matrix is a symmetric Toeplitz ...

First I’ll recap the normal eigenvalue problem to help explain what I’m asking. Say we have an $n\times n$ matrix $A$. Then $\det(\lambda I-A)$ is its characteristic polynomial and its zeroes are the ...

I'm working through this problem in Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right (4th edition). It says: Suppose that V is finite-dimensional and $k \in \{1,...,\dim(V)-1\}$. Suppose $T \in L(V) $ is such that ...

I'm aware that perhaps this proof has been analized and discussed a lot here but there's something that isn't clear to me from what I've been reading from Axler's text. How can we assert the equality ...
