HP49-50G : Eigenvalues & eigenvectors
Suppose that I have the special matrix
[[ 0 1 ] [ 0 0 ]], which has no square root. Its has only one distinct eigenvalue Lambda = 0. The corresponding eigenvector is [t, 0], or [1,0]. Execute on the calculator [[ 0 1 ] [ 0 0 ]] « EGV» Nothing can be calculated. Change now the initial matrix into a real matrix [[ 0. 1. ] [ 0. 0. ]] and execute again « EGV » The answer is now: [[ 1. 1. ] [ 0. 0. ]] (2 repeated eigenvectors in column) & [ 0. 0. ] (2 repeated eigenvalues, each = 0). Why this separate handling of the EGV instruction? By the way, Wolfram Alpha gives for [[ 0 1 ] [ 0 0 ]] 1/2 ^ the "answer" [[ 0 0 ] [ 0 0 ]] (the nil matrix). Any idea why or how Wolfram finds this result (even CHAT GPT can prove that such a Matrix has no square root) ? Regards, Gil |
