B.D. Youn Engineering Mathematics II CHAPTER 8
ABSTRACT OF CHAP. 8
Linear algebra in Chaps. 7 and 8 discusses the theory and application of vectors and matrices, mainly related to
linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and linear transformation.
Chapter 8 concerns the solutions of vector equations Ax = λ x
where A is a given square matrix and vector x and scalar λ .
Eigenvalue problems are of greatest practical interest to the engineer, physicist, and mathematician.
Eigenvectors are transformed to themselves multiplied
with a characteristic constant (eigenvalues).

SOME DEFINITIONS
Let A be an n × n matrix and consider
Ax = λ x (1)
λ , such that (1) has solution x ≠ 0 is an eigenvalue or characteristic value of A.
x are eigenvectors or characteristic vectors of A.
The spectrum of A is the set of eigenvalues of A;
max| λ | is the spectral radius of A.
The set of eigenvectors corresponding to λ (including 0) is
the eigenspace of A for λ .

MULTIPLICITY
The algebraic multiplicity is the order M λ of λ in the
characteristic polynomial.
The geometric multiplicity (m λ ) of λ is the number of linearly independent vectors corresponding to λ .
