    Study Notes

    Diagonalization of Matrices

    • Although the power method only estimates (if it exists) the strictly dominant eigenvalue of a matrix A, there are various variations of it that allow estimation of any eigenvalue of A starting from a good approximation A₀ of A. For example, the inverse power method.

    Exercises for Self-Assessment

    • Determine if the following statements are true:
      • Two equivalent matrices are congruent if the matrices that relate them are transposes.
      • The operation P⁻¹AP can only be performed if A is square.
      • The zero vector cannot be an eigenvector.
      • If A is a regular matrix with an eigenvector associated to a nonzero eigenvalue λ, then v may not be an eigenvector of A⁻¹.
      • Eigenvectors corresponding to different eigenvalues can be linearly dependent.
      • If an eigenvalue λ of a matrix A has algebraic multiplicity 2, then the matrix must have 2 eigenvectors that form a basis for the eigenspace associated with the eigenvalue λ.
      • It is true that the characteristic roots of two similar matrices are equal, and also, an endomorphism is diagonalizable if there is a basis of eigenvectors.
      • If A is an n×n matrix associated with an endomorphism f and λ is an eigenvalue of it, then the eigenspace Lλ of eigenvalue λ satisfies: Lλ = Ker(f - λId) and Dim Lλ = n - rank(A - λId) where Id is the identity linear application.
      • If A is a non-diagonalizable 4×4 matrix with two distinct eigenvalues λ₁ and λ₂, it can happen that dim(Eλ₁) = 2 and dim(Eλ₂) = 3.
      • If A is an 8×8 matrix and only has one eigenvalue λ ≠ 1 with geometric multiplicity 7, then the Jordan matrix of A has only one 1.

    Linear Applications and Matrices

    • Determine if the following statements are true:
      • For an application f: V → W, where V and W are vector spaces, it is sufficient for f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) for all x, y ∈ V to be linear.
      • If a system of vectors is linearly independent, the system formed by their images under a linear application will be linearly independent or linearly dependent depending on the given application.
      • The same matrix A can correspond to two different linear applications f and g for different bases.
      • A matrix A determines a linear application that does not depend on the bases chosen in the initial and final spaces.
      • The image subspace of a linear application f has a dimension equal to the rank of any associated matrix.

      • All linear applications are endomorphisms.
      • Change-of-basis matrices are non-singular.
      • Linear applications associated with a change of basis are the identity linear application.

      • If two different operations "+" and "*" are defined on a set A, the algebraic structures obtained in (A, +) and (A, *) necessarily coincide.
      • The set formed by the zero element {0} of a vector space V is always a subspace of V.
