Eigenvalues and eigenvectors

Ax = b is a linear equation which emerges from static problems. Eigenvalues, on the other hand, are used for dynamic problems. Let's consider A as a matrix with x as a vector; we will now solve the new equation in linear algebra, Ax= λx.

As A multiplies x, the vector x changes its direction. But there are certain vectors in the same direction as Ax-these are known as eigenvectors, for which the following equation holds good:

Ax= λx

In the last equation, vector Ax is lambda times the vector x, and λ is known as eigenvalue. Eigenvalue λ gives the direction of a vector-if it is reversed, or is in the same direction.

Ax= λx also conveys that det(A - λI) = 0, where I is the identity matrix. This determines n eigenvalues. ...
