The Gershgorin circle is of radius 1 about (4, 0). The other Gershgorin
”circle” has radius 0 and so is not really a circle. We may think of this as
a degenerate circle containing the eigenvalue −2 in its interior.

There is only one independent eigenvector associated with the double


eigenvalue 0. The Gershgorin circles have radius 2, center (0, 0), radius 1,
center (2, 0), and radius 1, center (2, 0). One of the Gershgorin circles is
enclosed by the other in this example.

pA (λ) = λ2 − 5λ,

λ1 = 0, V1 = , λ2 = 5, V2 = .
2 1
By taking the dot product of the eigenvectors, we see that they are or-
thogonal.
18.
pA (λ) = λ2 − λ − 37,

so eigenvalues are λ1 = (1+ 149)/2 and λ2 = (1− 49)/2. Corresponding

V1 = and V2 = .

These eigenvectors are orthogonal.
19.
pA (λ) = λ2 − 10λ − 23,

so eigenvalues are λ1 = 5 + 2 and λ2 = 5 − 2. Corresponding eigen-
vectors are  √   √

V1 = and V2 = .
1 1
These eigenvectors are orthogonal.
20.
pA (λ) = λ2 + 9λ − 53

17 + 293 17 − 293
These eigenvectors are orthogonal.
21.
pA (λ) = (λ − 3)(λ2 + 2λ − 1),

V1 = ⎝0⎠ , V2 = ⎝ 1 ⎠ , and V3 = ⎝ 1 ⎠ .

(λ − 2)(λ2 − 2λ − 2), so eigenvalues are λ1 = 2, λ2 = 1 +
22. pA (λ) = √ 3,
λ3 = 1 − 3. Corresponding eigenvectors are

V1 = ⎝−1⎠ , V2 = ⎝ 1 ⎠ and V3 = ⎝ 1 ⎠.
1 1 1

These eigenvectors are mutually orthogonal.

23. We know that AE = λE. Then

A2 E = A(AE) = A(λE) = λ(AE) = λ2 E.

This means that λ2 is an eigenvalue of E2 , with eigenvector E. The general


result follows now from an induction on k to show that Ak = λk E.

24. The characteristic polynomial of A is pA (λ) = |λI − A| = 0. The constant


term of this polynomial is obtained by setting λ = 0. This constant term
is equal to | − A|. This determinant is (−1)n |A|. Now λ = 0 is an
eigenvalue of A (root of the characteristic polynomial) exactly when the
constant term of pA (λ) is zero, and we now know that this occurs exactly
when |A| = 0.

9.2 Diagonalization
1.
pA (λ) = λ2 − 3λ + 4

is the√characteristic polynomial, with roots λ1 = (3 + 7i)/2 and λ2 =
(3 − 7i)/2. Corresponding eigenvectors are

−3 + 7i −3 − 7i
V1 = and V2 = .

8 8
diagonalizes A and
 √ 
(3 + 7i)/2 0

P−1 AP = .
0 (3 − 7i)/2

If we wrote the eigenvectors in the other order in forming P, then the


columns of P−1 AP would be reversed.

9.2. DIAGONALIZATION 209

so the eigenvalues are λ1 = 2 and λ2 = 6. Corresponding eigenvectors are

3.
pA (λ) = λ2 − 2λ + 1,
so the eigenvalues are λ1 = λ2 = 1. Every eigenvector is a scalar multiple
of  
0
1
so A is not diagonalizable.
4.
pA (λ) = λ2 − 4λ − 45,

izable.

pA (λ) = (λ + 2)4 ,

so the eigenvalues of A are −2, with multiplicity 4. We find that there


are only three independent eigenvectors, namely

Since A does not have four linearly independent eigenvectors, A is not


diagonalizable.

pA2 (λ) = (A − λj In )(A + λj I n )


= pA ( λj )pA (− λj ) = O

for j = 1, 2, · · · , n. Then

pA ( λj ) = 0 or pA (− λj ) = 0.

But this means that λj or − λj is an eigenvalue of A with associated


eigenvector Xj . This implies that A has n linearly independent eigenvec-
tors and is therefore diagonalizable.

9.3 Some Special Matrices


In Problems 1 - 12, begin by finding an orthogonal set of eigenvectors. Since
any nonzero constant times an eigenvector is also an eigenvector, multiply each
eigenvector by the reciprocal of its magnitude to obtain an orthonormal set of
eigenvectors. The matrix Q is an orthogonal matrix that diagonalizes the given
matrix.
For Problems 1 - 6, orthogonal eigenvectors were requested in Problems 17
- 22 of Section 9.1, so for these problems all that is needed is to normalize these
eigenvectors.

1. In Problem 17 of Section 9.1 we found the orthogonal eigenvectors


   
1 −2
V1 = , V2 = .

Divide each by its length 5 and use the resulting orthonormal vectors as
columns of Q:

1 √5 −2/√ 5
Q= .

Q is an orthogonal matrix that diagonalizes A.

13. The matrix is not hermitian, skew-hermitian or unitary. Compute

pA (λ) = (λ − 2)2 .

The eigenvalue is 2 with multiplicity 2 and only one independent eigen-


vector,

Therefore A is not diagonalizable.

pA (λ) = (λ + 1)2

9.3. SOME SPECIAL MATRICES 221

In computations involving complex matrices, it is assumed that the conjugate


of a product is the product of the conjugates, and the conjugate of a transpose
is the transpose of the conjugate.

29. If A is hermitian, then At = A, so

(AAt ) = A(A)t = A(At )t = AA.

30. If H is hermitian, then Ht = H, so the diagonal elements satisfy hjj = hjj ,


and therefore must be real.
31. If S is skew-hermitian, then St = −S, so sjj = −sjj for j = 1, · · · , n. Now
write sjj = ajj + ibjj . Then ajj = −ajj , so each ajj = 0. This makes the
diagonal elements zero (if b = 0) or pure imaginary (if b = 0).
t t
32. Let U and V be unitary matrices. Then U−1 = U and V−1 = V . Then
t t
(UV)−1 = V−1 U−1 = V U = ((U)(V))t = (UV)t

and this implies that UV is unitary.
