Chapter 6 Eigenvalues

The graph is a rectangular plane with two opposite corners curving upward. The estimated vertices are (negative 1, 1, 10), (1, 1, 1), (1, negative 1, 10), and (negative 1, negative 1, 2).

In Section 6.1, we will be concerned with the equation Ax=λx. This equation occurs in many applications of linear algebra. If the equation has a nonzero solution x, then λ is said to be an eigenvalue of A and x is said to be an eigenvector belonging to λ.

Eigenvalues are a common part of our life whether we realize it or not. Wherever there are vibrations, there are eigenvalues, the natural frequencies of the vibrations. If you have ever tuned a guitar, you have solved an eigenvalue problem. When engineers design structures, they are concerned with the frequencies of vibration of the structure. This concern is particularly ...
