Chapter 5: Q13E (page 267)

Exercises \({\bf{13}}\) and \(14\) apply to a \({\bf{3 \times 3}}\) matrix \(A\) whose eigenvalues are estimated to be \({\bf{4}}\), \({\bf{4}}\), and \({\bf{3}}\).

13. If the eigenvalues close to \({\bf{4}}\) and \( - 4\) are known to have different absolute values, will the power method work? Is it likely to be useful?

Short Answer

Expert verified

If the ratio \(\left| {\frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1}}}} \right|\) is close to \(1\) then the sequences \(\left\{ {{\mu _k}} \right\}\) and \(\left\{ {{x_k}} \right\}\) can converge very slowly and the method is not useful.

Step by step solution

01

Write the definition of the Power Method

The Power Method:An \(n \times n\) matrix \(A\) with a strictly dominant eigenvalue \({\lambda _1}\) that means \({\lambda _1}\) must be larger in absolute value than all the other eigenvalues.

02

Check whether the power method will work or not

If the eigenvalues are close to \(4\) and \( - 4\) have different absolute values, then one of these is a strictly dominant eigenvalue, so the power method will work.

If the ratio\(\left| {\frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1}}}} \right|\)is close to\(1\)then the sequences\(\left\{ {{\mu _k}} \right\}\)and\(\left\{ {{x_k}} \right\}\)can converge very slowly and the method is not useful.

Suppose \({\bf{x}}\) is an eigenvector of \(A\) corresponding to an eigenvalue \(\lambda \).

a. Show that \(x\) is an eigenvector of \(5I - A\). What is the corresponding eigenvalue?

b. Show that \(x\) is an eigenvector of \(5I - 3A + {A^2}\). What is the corresponding eigenvalue?

Compute the quantities in Exercises 1-8 using the vectors

\({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{ - 1}\\2\end{aligned}} \right),{\rm{ }}{\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}4\\6\end{aligned}} \right),{\rm{ }}{\mathop{\rm w}\nolimits} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}3\\{ - 1}\\{ - 5}\end{aligned}} \right),{\rm{ }}{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}6\\{ - 2}\\3\end{aligned}} \right)\)

2. \({\mathop{\rm w}\nolimits} \cdot {\mathop{\rm w}\nolimits} ,{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \cdot {\mathop{\rm w}\nolimits} ,\,\,{\mathop{\rm and}\nolimits} \,\,\frac{{{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \cdot {\mathop{\rm w}\nolimits} }}{{{\mathop{\rm w}\nolimits} \cdot {\mathop{\rm w}\nolimits} }}\)

M] In Exercises 19 and 20, find (a) the largest eigenvalue and (b) the eigenvalue closest to zero. In each case, set \[{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{0}}}{\bf{ = }}\left( {{\bf{1,0,0,0}}} \right)\] and carry out approximations until the approximating sequence seems accurate to four decimal places. Include the approximate eigenvector.

19.\[A{\bf{=}}\left[{\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\bf{10}}}&{\bf{7}}&{\bf{8}}&{\bf{7}}\\{\bf{7}}&{\bf{5}}&{\bf{6}}&{\bf{5}}\\{\bf{8}}&{\bf{6}}&{{\bf{10}}}&{\bf{9}}\\{\bf{7}}&{\bf{5}}&{\bf{9}}&{{\bf{10}}}\end{array}} \right]\]

Exercises 19–23 concern the polynomial \(p\left( t \right) = {a_{\bf{0}}} + {a_{\bf{1}}}t + ... + {a_{n - {\bf{1}}}}{t^{n - {\bf{1}}}} + {t^n}\) and \(n \times n\) matrix \({C_p}\) called the companion matrix of \(p\): \({C_p} = \left[ {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}&{\bf{1}}&{\bf{0}}&{...}&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{1}}&{}&{\bf{0}}\\:&{}&{}&{}&:\\{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}&{}&{\bf{1}}\\{ - {a_{\bf{0}}}}&{ - {a_{\bf{1}}}}&{ - {a_{\bf{2}}}}&{...}&{ - {a_{n - {\bf{1}}}}}\end{aligned}} \right]\).

22. Let \(p\left( t \right) = {a_{\bf{0}}} + {a_{\bf{1}}}t + {a_{\bf{2}}}{t^{\bf{2}}} + {t^{\bf{3}}}\), and let \(\lambda \) be a zero of \(p\).

  1. Write the companion matrix for \(p\).
  2. Explain why \({\lambda ^{\bf{3}}} = - {a_{\bf{0}}} - {a_{\bf{1}}}\lambda - {a_{\bf{2}}}{\lambda ^{\bf{2}}}\), and show that \(\left( {{\bf{1}},\lambda ,{\lambda ^2}} \right)\) is an eigenvector of the companion matrix for \(p\).
