The closed formulas forAt=13t-103t

Step by step solution

01

Finding the diagonalization matrix and eigenvalues.

The given matrix isA=1203.Since the given matrix is upper triangular, its eigenvalues are their main diagonals. It isλ1=1,λ2=3

Since, there are two distinct real eigenvalues, the matrix is diagonalizable and its diagonalization will be

B=1003

Bt=1003t

02

Finding the characteristic equation for the eigenvalues.

First we are going to find the eigenvalues of matrix A. The characteristic polynomial of A is,

det(A-1))=det1-λ203-λ

To find the matrix S, we are going to find the eigenspaces of matrix A. the eigenspaces associated with λ, is denoted by Eλand it is given byEλ=ker(A-λl),

1-λ203-λ×x1x2=00(1-λ)x1+2x2=0(3-λ)x2=0

Now we can solve for λ-1 and by substitute , we get λ-2

X1X2=X0

So,. E1=span10

Now we can solve for localid="1668432270468" λ=3and by substitute , we get

localid="1668432279313" X1X2=XX

So, localid="1668432282790" E2=span11

So finally,S=1101

03

Finding the closed formulas for At

Now we can find the matrix.

S=1101,S-1=1-101

Finally now, we can calculate,

At=SBtS-1=1101×1003t×1-101At=13t-103t

Hence the closed formulas for

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 \(p\): \({C_p} = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}&{\bf{1}}&{\bf{0}}&{...}&{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{1}}&{}&{\bf{0}}\\:&{}&{}&{}&:\\{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}&{\bf{0}}&{}&{\bf{1}}\\{ - {a_{\bf{0}}}}&{ - {a_{\bf{1}}}}&{ - {a_{\bf{2}}}}&{...}&{ - {a_{n - {\bf{1}}}}}\end{aligned}} \right)\).

20. Let \(p\left( t \right){\bf{ = }}\left( {t{\bf{ - 2}}} \right)\left( {t{\bf{ - 3}}} \right)\left( {t{\bf{ - 4}}} \right){\bf{ = - 24 + 26}}t{\bf{ - 9}}{t^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ + }}{t^{\bf{3}}}\). Write the companion matrix for \(p\left( t \right)\), and use techniques from chapter \({\bf{3}}\) to find the characteristic polynomial.

Question: Let \(A = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{.6}&{.3}\\{.4}&{.7}\end{array}} \right)\), \({v_1} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{3/7}\\{4/7}\end{array}} \right)\), \({x_0} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{.5}\\{.5}\end{array}} \right)\). (Note: \(A\) is the stochastic matrix studied in Example 5 of Section 4.9.)

  1. Find a basic for \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) consisting of \({{\rm{v}}_1}\) and anther eigenvector \({{\rm{v}}_2}\) of \(A\).
  2. Verify that \({{\rm{x}}_0}\) may be written in the form \({{\rm{x}}_0} = {{\rm{v}}_1} + c{{\rm{v}}_2}\).
  3. For \(k = 1,2, \ldots \), define \({x_k} = {A^k}{x_0}\). Compute \({x_1}\) and \({x_2}\), and write a formula for \({x_k}\). Then show that \({{\bf{x}}_k} \to {{\bf{v}}_1}\) as \(k\) increases.

For the matrix A, find real closed formulas for the trajectoryx(t+1)=Ax¯(t)where x=[01]. Draw a rough sketch

Let\(\varepsilon = \left\{ {{{\bf{e}}_1},{{\bf{e}}_2},{{\bf{e}}_3}} \right\}\) be the standard basis for \({\mathbb{R}^3}\),\(B = \left\{ {{{\bf{b}}_1},{{\bf{b}}_2},{{\bf{b}}_3}} \right\}\) be a basis for a vector space \(V\) and\(T:{\mathbb{R}^3} \to V\) be a linear transformation with the property that

\(T\left( {{x_1},{x_2},{x_3}} \right) = \left( {{x_3} - {x_2}} \right){{\bf{b}}_1} - \left( {{x_1} - {x_3}} \right){{\bf{b}}_2} + \left( {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right){{\bf{b}}_3}\)

  1. Compute\(T\left( {{{\bf{e}}_1}} \right)\), \(T\left( {{{\bf{e}}_2}} \right)\) and \(T\left( {{{\bf{e}}_3}} \right)\).
  2. Compute \({\left( {T\left( {{{\bf{e}}_1}} \right)} \right)_B}\), \({\left( {T\left( {{{\bf{e}}_2}} \right)} \right)_B}\) and \({\left( {T\left( {{{\bf{e}}_3}} \right)} \right)_B}\).
  3. Find the matrix for \(T\) relative to \(\varepsilon \), and\(B\).

Suppose \(A\) is diagonalizable and \(p\left( t \right)\) is the characteristic polynomial of \(A\). Define \(p\left( A \right)\) as in Exercise 5, and show that \(p\left( A \right)\) is the zero matrix. This fact, which is also true for any square matrix, is called the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.
