Similarity Transformation
Similar Matrices
In linear algebra, two n × n matrices A and B are called similar if there
exists an invertible n × n matrix Q such that
B = Q−1 AQ
Similar matrices represent the same linear map under two (possibly)
different bases, with Q being the change of basis matrix.
Similarity Transformation
A transformation A 7→ Q−1 AQ is called a similarity transformation or
conjugation of the matrix A.

Similarity Transformation
Example:

Eigenvalues

Eigenvalues
Example
0.8 0.3 0.8 − λ 0.3
ifA = , then det(A) = det
0.2 0.7 0.2 0.7 − λ
2 1
= λ2 − λ = (λ − 1)(λ − )
3 2
Thus λ = 1 and λ = 12 are the two eigenvlaues
We can also say that λ1 = 1 and λ2 = 12
