  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. 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

  4. 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.

  5. Eigenvector definition and negative eigen values

    That is to say, A A acts on the vector the same way that scalar multiplication acts on the vector. Note that in the case of positive eigenvalues this does mean that v v and Av A v lie in the same "direction" …

  6. Identity matrix and its relation to eigenvalues and eigenvectors

    5 Eigenvectors & Eigenvalues 3Blue1Brown's video on eigenvectors and eigenvalues explains the eigenvectors and eigenvalues visually. In general, matrix-vector multiplication Av = b A v = b maps …

  7. Numerically computing eigenvalues -- what is it useful for?

    Dec 18, 2023 · The eigenvalues of partial differential operators describing mechanical or electromagnetic systems are related to the resonance frequencies. For example, the frequencies at …

  8. Eigenvalues are unique? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    I'm studying eigenvector and eigenvalue but there are some confusing things to me. (1) Eigenvectors are not unique (2) If eigenvectors come from distinct eigenvalues, then eigenvectors are unique.

  9. A matrix and its transpose have the same set of eigenvalues/other ...

    Proposition: Given an endomorphism A A of a finite dimensional vector space V V equipped with a nondegenerate bilinear form ⋅, ⋅ , , the endomorphisms A A and A∗ A ∗ have the same set of …

  10. 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...
