He was the first to use the German word eigen , which means "own", to denote eigenvalues and eigenvectors in 1904, though he may have been following a related usage by Hermann von Helmholtz . For some time, the standard term in English

A property of the nullspace is that it is a linear subspace , so E is a linear subspace of C n {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}} . Because the eigenspace E is a linear subspace, it is closed under addition. That is, if two vectors u and v belong to the set E , written u , v ∈ E , then ( u + v ) ∈ E or equivalently A ( u + v ) = λ ( u + v ) . This can be checked using

Therefore, any vector that points directly to the right or left with no vertical component is an eigenvector of this transformation, because the mapping does not change its direction. Moreover, these eigenvectors all have an eigenvalue equal to one, because the mapping does not change their length either. Linear transformations can take many different forms, mapping vectors in a variety of vector spaces, so

Points in the top half are moved to the right, and points in the bottom half are moved to the left, proportional to how far they are from the horizontal axis that goes through the middle of the painting. The vectors pointing to each point in the original image are therefore tilted right or left, and made longer or shorter by the transformation.

On the other hand, by definition, any nonzero vector that satisfies this condition is an eigenvector of A associated with λ . So, the set E is the union of the zero vector with the set of all eigenvectors of A associated with λ , and E equals the nullspace of ( A − λI ). E is called the eigenspace or characteristic space of A associated with λ . In general λ

The eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a linear transformation serve to characterize it, and so they play important roles in all the areas where linear algebra is applied, from geology to quantum mechanics . In particular, it is often the case that a system is represented by
1404-439: Is the multiplying factor λ {\displaystyle \lambda } (possibly negative). Geometrically, vectors are multi- dimensional quantities with magnitude and direction, often pictured as arrows. A linear transformation rotates , stretches , or shears the vectors upon which it acts. Its eigenvectors are those vectors that are only stretched, with neither rotation nor shear. The corresponding eigenvalue

Evaluating D := V T A V {\displaystyle D:=V^{T}AV} , we get a matrix whose top left block is the diagonal matrix λ I γ A ( λ ) {\displaystyle \lambda I_{\gamma _{A}(\lambda )}} . This can be seen by evaluating what the left-hand side does to the first column basis vectors. By reorganizing and adding − ξ V {\displaystyle -\xi V} on both sides, we get ( A − ξ I ) V = V ( D − ξ I ) {\displaystyle (A-\xi I)V=V(D-\xi I)} since I {\displaystyle I} commutes with V {\displaystyle V} . In other words, A − ξ I {\displaystyle A-\xi I}

Therefore, the eigenvalues of A are values of λ that satisfy the equation Using the Leibniz formula for determinants , the left-hand side of equation ( 3 ) is a polynomial function of the variable λ and the degree of this polynomial is n , the order of the matrix A . Its coefficients depend on the entries of A , except that its term of degree n

2268-443: The entries of the matrix A are all real numbers, then the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial will also be real numbers, but the eigenvalues may still have nonzero imaginary parts. The entries of the corresponding eigenvectors therefore may also have nonzero imaginary parts. Similarly, the eigenvalues may be irrational numbers even if all the entries of A are rational numbers or even if they are all integers. However, if
