Now the second part is aboutchange. Timeenters the picture continuous time in a differential equationdu/dt=Auor time stepsin a difference equationuk+1=Auk. Those equations are NOT solved by key idea is to avoid all the complications presented by the matrixA. Supposethe solution vectoru(t)stays in the direction of a fixed vectorx.
Chapter 6 Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors 6.1 Introduction to Eigenvalues 1 An eigenvector x lies along the same line as Ax : Ax = λx. The eigenvalue is λ. 2 If Ax = λx then A2x = λ2x and A−1x = λ−1x and (A + cI)x = (λ + c)x: the same x. 3 If Ax = λxthen (A−λI)x = 0andA−λI is singularand det(A−λI) = 0. neigenvalues.
