CHAPTER 5 EIGENVALUES, EIGENVECTORS, AND DIAGONALIZATION
Note: In these definitions v ∈ Rn and λ ∈ R, but sometimes it is necessary to extend the domain of T to allow v ∈ Cn and λ ∈ C.
Example: reflection operator T about the line y = (1/2)x
b1 is an eigenvector of T corresponding to the eigenvalue 1.
b2 is an eigenvector of T corresponding to the eigenvalue -1.

Proof T(v) = λv ⇔ Av = λv.
The eigenvectors and corresponding eigenvalues of a linear operator are the same
as those of its standard matrix.

Proof Av = λv ⇔ Av - λv = 0 ⇔ Av - λInv = 0 ⇔ (A - λIn)v = 0.

Property Let A be an n⇥nmatrix with eigenvalue �. The eigenvectors of A corresponding
to � are the nonzero solutions of (A� �In)v = 0.
consider its standard matrix
The rank of A - 3I2 is 1, so its null space is not the zero space, and every nonzero vector in the null space is an eigenvector of T corresponding to the eigenvalue 3.
Similarly, the rank of A + 2I2 is 1, so its null space is not the zero space, and every nonzero vector in the null space is an eigenvector of T corresponding to the eigenvalue -2.

Example: to check that 3 is an eigenvalue of B and find a basis for the corresponding eigenspace, where
find the reduced row echelon form of B - 3I3 and the solution set of (B - 3I3)x = 0, respectively, to be
Thus {[ 1 0 0 ]T, [ 0 1 1 ]T} is a basis of the eigenspace of B corresponding to the eigenvalue 3.
Example: some square matrices and linear operators on Rn have no
real eigenvalues, like the 90º-rotation matrix
