    The document discusses proving the coefficients of a linear operator expanded as polynomials. It shows that for a linear operator T, its eigenvalues can be expressed as a linear combination of iterations of T. Taking the binomial expansion of (T-λI)n and taking the limit as n approaches infinity, the coefficients become the eigenvalues of T. This proves that the coefficients in the polynomial expansion of T are precisely its eigenvalues.

    show the following, for a linear operator,

    212\* MERGEFORMAT [.]

    Let’s consider the following as given: the binomial expansion,

    313\* MERGEFORMAT [.]

    Let be an operator which we assume to have finite eigenvalues by hypothesis; it is defined as a (not necessarily finite)
    linear combination of iterations of , and it is defined as,

    414\* MERGEFORMAT [.]

    In 14, we assumed that can be expanded as polynomials with the appropriate coefficients. Those coefficients are
    the subject of the following proof.

    Coefficients of : For the binomial expansion 13, the special case that and , gives us the true statement,

    which we expand into a lot of factorials we want to cancel out (namely: ), and,

    The factor out front in 15, (“phi” for “factor”) is,

    616\*
    MERGEFORMAT [.]

    Notice that since and over the index of the sum, the factor 16 is a product of a bunch of things less than 1.

    So, if we set in the sum 15, we would get the sum because,

    717\* MERGEFORMAT [.]

    Let’s take the limit as ; the coefficients become,

    818\*
    MERGEFORMAT [.]
    Thus, in the limit as , we have . Using this in 14,
