Diagonalisation and matrix powers

A = PDP⁻¹, computing Aⁿ, and the matrices that cannot be diagonalised.

With a full set of eigenvectors, A = PDP⁻¹ where D is diagonal, so Aⁿ = PDⁿP⁻¹: Fibonacci in closed form, Markov chains at equilibrium. Picture it: the transformation stretching along eigenvector directions and nothing else. Think it: symmetric matrices always diagonalise with orthogonal eigenvectors (the spectral theorem); defective ones need Jordan form.

Eigenvalues of [[4,1],[2,3]]

\left[\begin{matrix}4 & 1\\2 & 3\end{matrix}\right]

Қадами ба қадам

  1. \det(A - \lambda I) = 0

    Eigenvalues are the roots of the characteristic polynomial.

  2. \det\left[\begin{matrix}4 - \lambda & 1\\2 & 3 - \lambda\end{matrix}\right] = 0

    Subtract λ from the diagonal.

  3. \lambda^{2} - 7 \lambda + 10 = 0

    Expand the determinant.

  4. \left(\lambda - 5\right) \left(\lambda - 2\right) = 0

    Factor.

  5. \lambda = 5, \lambda = 2

    Eigenvalues (with multiplicity).

  6. \lambda = 2:\ (A - \lambda I)\mathbf{v} = 0 \Rightarrow \mathbf{v} = \left[\begin{matrix}- \frac{1}{2}\\1\end{matrix}\right]

    Solve (A − 2I)v = 0 for a basis eigenvector.

  7. \lambda = 5:\ (A - \lambda I)\mathbf{v} = 0 \Rightarrow \mathbf{v} = \left[\begin{matrix}1\\1\end{matrix}\right]

    Solve (A − 5I)v = 0 for a basis eigenvector.

Саволҳои маъмул

What does a determinant mean geometrically?

It is the factor by which the matrix scales area (2×2) or volume (3×3), with a negative sign if orientation flips. Zero means the matrix flattens space and cannot be undone.

What is an eigenvector?

A direction the matrix does not turn: it only stretches it by the eigenvalue. Along eigenvectors a complicated matrix acts like multiplication by a number.

Why is matrix multiplication not commutative?

Because a matrix is a transformation and AB means "do B, then A". Rotating then reflecting is not the same as reflecting then rotating.
