  2. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors

    The eigenvalue and eigenvector problem can also be defined for row vectors that left multiply matrix . In this formulation, the defining equation is. where is a scalar and is a matrix. Any row vector satisfying this equation is called a left eigenvector of and is its associated eigenvalue.

  3. Eigendecomposition of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigendecomposition_of_a_matrix

    A generalized eigenvalue problem (second sense) is the problem of finding a (nonzero) vector v that obeys = where A and B are matrices. If v obeys this equation, with some λ , then we call v the generalized eigenvector of A and B (in the second sense), and λ is called the generalized eigenvalue of A and B (in the second sense) which ...

  4. Eigenfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenfunction

    Eigenfunctions. In general, an eigenvector of a linear operator D defined on some vector space is a nonzero vector in the domain of D that, when D acts upon it, is simply scaled by some scalar value called an eigenvalue. In the special case where D is defined on a function space, the eigenvectors are referred to as eigenfunctions. That is, a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_matrix_and...

    In vector calculus, the Jacobian matrix (/ dʒəˈkoʊbiən /, [1][2][3] / dʒɪ -, jɪ -/) of a vector-valued function of several variables is the matrix of all its first-order partial derivatives. When this matrix is square, that is, when the function takes the same number of variables as input as the number of vector components of its output ...

  6. Hessian matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_matrix

    Hessian matrix. In mathematics, the Hessian matrix, Hessian or (less commonly) Hesse matrix is a square matrix of second-order partial derivatives of a scalar-valued function, or scalar field. It describes the local curvature of a function of many variables. The Hessian matrix was developed in the 19th century by the German mathematician Ludwig ...

  7. Rayleigh quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_quotient

    As stated in the introduction, for any vector x, one has (,) [,], where , are respectively the smallest and largest eigenvalues of .This is immediate after observing that the Rayleigh quotient is a weighted average of eigenvalues of M: (,) = = = = where (,) is the -th eigenpair after orthonormalization and = is the th coordinate of x in the eigenbasis.

  8. Euler's rotation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_rotation_theorem

    Therefore, another version of Euler's theorem is that for every rotation R, there is a nonzero vector n for which Rn = n; this is exactly the claim that n is an eigenvector of R associated with the eigenvalue 1. Hence it suffices to prove that 1 is an eigenvalue of R; the rotation axis of R will be the line μn, where n is the eigenvector with ...

  9. Rayleigh–Ritz method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Ritz_method

    Rayleigh–Ritz method. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is a direct numerical method of approximating eigenvalues, originated in the context of solving physical boundary value problems and named after Lord Rayleigh and Walther Ritz. In this method, an infinite-dimensional linear operator is approximated by a finite-dimensional compression, on which ...
