INTRODUCTION
If A is an n x n matrix and is a scalar for which Ax = x has a
nontrivial solution x , then is an eigenvalue of A and x is
a corresponding eigenvector of A.
Ax=x=Ix
(A-I)x=0
The matrix (A-I ) is called the characteristic matrix of a
where I is the Unit matrix.

The equation det (A-I )= 0 is called characteristic
equationof A and the roots of this equation are called the
eigenvalues of the matrix A. The set of all eigenvectors is
called the eigenspace of A corresponding to . The set of all
eigenvalues of a is called spectrum of A.
Determining Eigenvalues

Vector equation
Ax = lx (A-lI)x = 0
A-lI is called the characteristic matrix
Non-trivial solutions exist if and only if:
a11 l a12 a1n
a21 a22 l a2 n
det( A lI) 0

an1 an 2 ann l
This is called the characteristic equation
Characteristic polynomial
nth-order polynomial in l
Roots are the eigenvalues {l1, l2, , ln}

Determining Eigenvectors

First determine eigenvalues: {l1, l2, , ln}


Then determine eigenvector corresponding
to each eigenvalue:

(A lI)x 0 (A lk I)x k 0

multiple
Distinct eigenvalues
Produce linearly independent eigenvectors
Repeated eigenvalues

Algebraic & Geometric
Multiplicity

If the eigenvalue of the equation det(A-I)=0 is


repeated n times then n is called the algebraic
multiplicity of . The number of linearly
independent eigenvectors is the difference between
the number of unknowns and the rank of the
corresponding matrix A- I and is known as
geometric multiplicity of eigenvalue .

Verify Cayley Hamilton theorem for

the matrix A=
1 2 1
. Hence

compute A-1 .

Solution:- The characteristic equation


of A is
2 1 1
A I 0 i.e., 1 2 1 0
1 1 2
or 3 6 2 9 4 0 (on simplification)
To verify Cayley Hamilton theorem, we have to
show that A3 6A2 +9A 4I = 0 (1)

A3 -6A2 +9A 4I = 0

22 22 21 6 5 5 2 1 1 1 0 0
5 6 5 1 2 1 0 1 0
= 21 22 21 -6 +9 -4


21 21 22 5 5 6 1 1 2 0 0 1

0 0 0
= 0 0 0 0

0 0 0

This verifies Cayley Hamilton theorem


Now, pre multiplying both sides of (1) by A-1 ,
we have
A2 6A +9I 4 A-1 = 0
=> 4 A-1 = A2 6 A +9I
