  1. What is the importance of eigenvalues/eigenvectors?

    Feb 23, 2011 · 9 Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are central to the definition of measurement in quantum mechanics Measurements are what you do during experiments, so this is obviously of central …

  2. How to intuitively understand eigenvalue and eigenvector?

    I think eigenvalue product corresponding eigenvector has same effect as the matrix product eigenvector geometrically. I think my former understanding may be too naive so that I cannot find the link …

  3. Real life examples for eigenvalues / eigenvectors

    There are already good answers about importance of eigenvalues / eigenvectors, such as this question and some others, as well as this Wikipedia article. I know the theory and these examples, but n...

  4. What do zero eigenvalues mean? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 4, 2014 · What is the geometric meaning of a $3 \\times 3$ matrix having all three eigenvalues as zero? I have interpretations in mind for $0$, $1$, and $2$ eigenvalues being zero, but what about all …

  5. Proof that the trace of a matrix is the sum of its eigenvalues

    Oct 31, 2013 · 28 Trace is preserved under similarity and every matrix is similar to a Jordan block matrix. Since the Jordan block matrix has its eigenvalues on the diagonal, its trace is the sum (with …

  6. Are the eigenvalues of $AB$ equal to the eigenvalues of $BA$?

    It is true that the eigenvalues (counting multiplicity) of AB A B are the same as those of BA B A. This is a corollary of Theorem 1.3.22 in the second edition of "Matrix Analysis" by Horn and Johnson, which is …

  7. What is the relation between rank of a matrix, its eigenvalues and ...

    Jul 5, 2015 · 1) If a matrix has 1 eigenvalue as zero, the dimension of its kernel may be 1 or more (depends upon the number of other eigenvalues). 2) If it has n distinct eigenvalues its rank is atleast n.

  8. Prove that the product of eigenvalues is equal to the determinant

    Jul 1, 2020 · Prove that the product of eigenvalues is equal to the determinant Ask Question Asked 5 years, 6 months ago Modified 5 years, 6 months ago

  9. What is the difference between "singular value" and "eigenvalue"?

    I am trying to prove some statements about singular value decomposition, but I am not sure what the difference between singular value and eigenvalue is. Is "singular value" just another name for

  10. A simple explanation of eigenvectors and eigenvalues with 'big picture ...

    May 3, 2011 · Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues are structures that your brain uses in order to correctly access the incoming trajectory of the ball, given only 2D frames over time. Your mind is able to …
