Eigenvalues, eigenvectors , andeigenspaces of linear operatorsMath 130 linear AlgebraD Joyce, Fall 2015 Eigenvalues and re lookingat linear operators on a vector spaceV, that is, linear transformationsx7 T(x) from the vectorspaceVto finite dimensionnwith a specifiedbasis , thenTis described by a squaren nmatrixA= [T] .We re particularly interested in the study the ge-ometry of these transformations in a way that wecan t when the transformation goes from one vec-tor space to a different vector space, namely, we llcompare the original vectorxto its imageT(x).Some of these vectors will be sent to other vectorson the same line, that is, a vectorxwill be sent toa scalar multiple xof a given linear operatorT:V V, a nonzero vectorxand a constant scalar arecalled aneigenvectorand itseigenvalue, respec-tively, whenT(x) = x.
form, so we can read o the three eigenvalues: 1 = 1, 2 = 3, and 3 = 2. (It doesn’t matter the order you name them.) Thus, the spectrum of this matrix is the set f1;2;3g. Let’s nd the 1-eigenspace. We need to solve Ax = 1x. That’s the same as solving (A 1I)x = 0. The matrix A 1Iis 2 4 0 0 0 3 2 0 3 2 1 3 5 which row reduces to 2 4 1 0 1 6 ...
