Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues of a Matrix The eigenvectors of a square matrix are the non-zero vectors that after being multiplied by the matrix, remain parellel to the original vector.

mathematics for economist Beatrice Venturi 35 Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues of a Matrix §Matrix A acts by stretching the vector x, not changing its direction, so x is an eigenvector of A. The vector x is an eigenvector of the matrix A with eigenvalue λ (lambda) if the following equation holds:

Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues of a Matrix §This equation is called the eigenvalues equation. mathematics for economist Beatrice Venturi 36

Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues of a Matrix §The eigenvalues of A are precisely the solutions λ to the equation: §Here det is the determinant of matrix formed by A - λI ( where I is the 2×2 identity matrix). §This equation is called the characteristic equation (or, less often, the secular equation) of A. For example, if A is the following matrix (a so-called diagonal matrix): mathematics for economist Beatrice Venturi 37
