265 Questions for Chapter 5: Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

  1. In Exercises 9–16, find a basis for the eigenspace corresponding to each listed eigenvalue.

    Found on Page 267
  2. (M) Exercises 7-12 require MATLAB or other computational aid. In Exercises 7 and 8, use the power method with the \({{\bf{x}}_0}\) given. List \(\left\{ {{{\bf{x}}_k}} \right\}\) and \(\left\{ {{\mu _k}} \right\}\) for \(k = 1, \ldots .5.\) In Exercises 9 and 10, list \({\mu _5}\) and \({\mu _6}\).

  3. Question: Exercises 9–14 require techniques from Section 3.1. Find the characteristic polynomial of each matrix, using either a cofactor expansion or the special formula for \(3 \times 3\)determinants described prior to Exercises 15–18 in Section 3.1. (Note:Finding the characteristic polynomial of a \(3 \times 3\)matrix is not easy to do with just row operations, because the variable \(\lambda \)is involved.)

  4. In Exercises 9 and 18,construct the general solution of\(x' = Ax\)involving complex Eigen functions and then obtain the general real solution. Describe the shapes of typical trajectories.

  5. Show that if \(A\) is diagonalizable, with all eigenvalues less than 1 in magnitude, then \({A^k}\) tends to the zero matrix as \(k \to \infty \). (Hint: Consider \({A^k}x\) where \(x\) represents any one of the columns of \(I\).)

  6. Another estimate can be made for an eigenvalue when an approximate eigenvector is available. Observe that if \(A{\bf{x}} = \lambda {\bf{x}}\), then \({{\bf{x}}^T}A{\bf{x}} = {{\bf{x}}^T}\left( {\lambda {\bf{x}}} \right) = \lambda \left( {{{\bf{x}}^T}{\bf{x}}} \right)\) and the Rayleigh quotient
