2 Diagonalization Let L be a linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space V. Then the following conditions are equivalent: the matrix of L with respect to some basis is diagonal; there exists a basis for V formed by eigenvectors of L. The operator L is diagonalizable if it satisfies these conditions. Let A be an n n matrix. Then the following conditions are equivalent: A is the matrix of a diagonalizable operator; A is similar to a diagonal matrix, i.e., it is represented as A = UBU 1, where the matrix B is diagonal; there exists a basis for R n formed by eigenvectors of A. The matrix A is diagonalizable if it satisfies these conditions. Otherwise A is called defective.
3 Theorem 1 If v 1,v 2,...,v k are eigenvectors of a linear operator L associated with distinct eigenvalues λ 1,λ 2,...,λ k, then v 1,v 2,...,v k are linearly independent. Theorem 2 Let λ 1,λ 2,...,λ k be distinct eigenvalues of a linear operator L. For any 1 i k let S i be a basis for the eigenspace associated with the eigenvalue λ i. Then the union S 1 S 2 S k is a linearly independent set. Corollary Let A be an n n matrix such that the characteristic equation det(a λi) = 0 has n distinct real roots. Then (i) there exists a basis for R n consisting of eigenvectors of A; (ii) all eigenspaces of A are one-dimensional.
4 Example. A = ( ) The matrix A has two eigenvalues: 1 and 3. The eigenspace of A associated with the eigenvalue 1 is the line spanned by v 1 = ( 1, 1). The eigenspace of A associated with the eigenvalue 3 is the line spanned by v 2 = (1, 1). Eigenvectors v 1 and v 2 form a basis for R 2. Thus the matrix A is diagonalizable. Namely, A = UBU 1, where ( ) ( ) B =, U =
5 Example. A = The matrix A has two eigenvalues: 0 and 2. The eigenspace corresponding to 0 is spanned by v 1 = ( 1, 1, 0). The eigenspace corresponding to 2 is spanned by v 2 = (1, 1, 0) and v 3 = ( 1, 0, 1). Eigenvectors v 1,v 2,v 3 form a basis for R 3. Thus the matrix A is diagonalizable. Namely, A = UBU 1, where B = , U =
6 Problem. Diagonalize the matrix A = ( ) We need to find a diagonal matrix B and an invertible matrix U such ( ) that A = ( UBU ) 1. x1 x2 Suppose that v 1 =, v 2 = is a basis for y 1 R 2 formed by eigenvectors of A, i.e., Av i = λ i v i for some λ i R. Then we can take ( ) ( ) λ1 0 x1 x B =, U = 2. 0 λ 2 y 1 y 2 Note that U is the transition matrix from the basis v 1,v 2 to the standard basis. y 2

8 Problem. Let A = ( ) 4 3. Find A We know that A = UBU 1, where ( ) ( ) B =, U = Then A 5 = UBU 1 UBU 1 UBU 1 UBU 1 UBU ( ) ( ) ( ) = UB 5 U 1 = ( ) ( ) ( ) = =
9 Problem. Let A = such that C 2 = A. ( ) 4 3. Find a matrix C 0 1 We know that A = UBU 1, where ( ) ( ) B =, U = Suppose that D 2 = B for some matrix D. Let C = UDU 1. Then C 2 = UDU 1 UDU 1 = UD 2 U 1 = UBU 1 = A. ( ) ( ) 4 0 We can take D = 2 0 = ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) Then C = =
10 Initial value problem for a system of linear ODEs: { dx dt = 4x + 3y, dy dt = y, x(0) = 1, y(0) = 1. The system can be rewritten in vector form: ( dv 4 3 = Av, where A = dt 0 1 ), v = ( x y ). Matrix A is diagonalizable: A = UBU 1, where ( ) ( ) B =, U = ( ) w1 Let w = be coordinates of the vector v relative to the w 2 basis v 1 = (1, 0) T, v 2 = ( 1, 1) T of eigenvectors of A. Then v = Uw = w = U 1 v.
11 It follows that dw dt = d dt (U 1 v) = U 1dv dt = U 1 Av = U 1 AUw. Hence dw dt = Bw { dw1 dt = 4w 1, dw 2 dt = w 2. General solution: w 1 (t) = c 1 e 4t, w 2 (t) = c 2 e t, where c 1, c 2 R. Initial condition: w(0) = U 1 v(0) = ( 1 ( ) ) 1 Thus w 1 (t) = 2e 4t, w 2 (t) = e t. Then ( ) ( )( ) x(t) 1 1 2e 4t = Uw(t) = y(t) 0 1 e t = = ( ) )( 1 = ( 2e 4t e t e t ). ( 2 1).
12 There are two obstructions to diagonalization. They are illustrated by the following examples. ( ) 1 1 Example 1. A =. 0 1 det(a λi) = (λ 1) 2. Hence λ = 1 is the only eigenvalue. The associated eigenspace is the line t(1, 0). ( ) 0 1 Example 2. A =. 1 0 det(a λi) = λ = no real eigenvalues or eigenvectors (However there are complex eigenvalues/eigenvectors.)

14 Sample problems for Test 2 Problem 1 (15 pts.) Let M 2,2 (R) denote the vector space of 2 2 matrices with real entries. Consider a linear operator L : M 2,2 (R) M 2,2 (R) given by L ( x y z w ) = ( x y z w ) ( ) Find the matrix of the operator L with respect to the basis ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) E 1 =, E =, E =, E =. 0 1
15 Problem 2 (20 pts.) Find a linear polynomial which is the best least squares fit to the following data: x f (x) Problem 3 (25 pts.) Let V be a subspace of R 4 spanned by the vectors x 1 = (1, 1, 1, 1) and x 2 = (1, 0, 3, 0). (i) Find an orthonormal basis for V. (ii) Find an orthonormal basis for the orthogonal complement V.
16 Problem 4 (30 pts.) Let A = (i) Find all eigenvalues of the matrix A. (ii) For each eigenvalue of A, find an associated eigenvector. (iii) Is the matrix A diagonalizable? Explain. (iv) Find all eigenvalues of the matrix A 2. Bonus Problem 5 (15 pts.) Let L : V W be a linear mapping of a finite-dimensional vector space V to a vector space W. Show that dim Range(L) + dim ker(l) = dim V.
17 Problem 1. Let M 2,2 (R) denote the vector space of 2 2 matrices with real entries. Consider a linear operator L : M 2,2 (R) M 2,2 (R) given by L ( x y z w ) = ( x y z w ) ( ) Find the matrix of the operator L with respect to the basis ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) E 1 =, E =, E =, E =. 0 1 Let M L denote the desired matrix. By definition, M L is a 4 4 matrix whose columns are coordinates of the matrices L(E 1 ), L(E 2 ), L(E 3 ), L(E 4 ) with respect to the basis E 1, E 2, E 3, E 4.
18 ( ) ( ) L(E 1 ) = = ( ) ( ) L(E 2 ) = = ( ) ( ) L(E 3 ) = = ( ) ( ) L(E 4 ) = = ( ) 1 2 = 1E E 2 +0E 3 +0E 4, ( ) 3 4 = 3E E 2 +0E 3 +0E 4, ( ) 0 0 = 0E E 2 +1E 3 +2E 4, ( ) 0 0 = 0E E 2 +3E 3 +4E 4. It follows that M L =
19 Thus the relation (x1 ) ( y 1 x y = z 1 w 1 z w ) ( ) is equivalent to the relation x x y 1 z 1 = y z w w 1
20 Problem 2. Find a linear polynomial which is the best least squares fit to the following data: x f (x) We are looking for a function f (x) = c 1 + c 2 x, where c 1, c 2 are unknown coefficients. The data of the problem give rise to an overdetermined system of linear equations in variables c 1 and c 2 : c 1 2c 2 = 3, c 1 c 2 = 2, c 1 = 1, c 1 + c 2 = 2, c 1 + 2c 2 = 5. This system is inconsistent.
21 We can represent the system as a matrix equation Ac = y, where ( ) A = , c = c1 2, y = c The least squares solution c of the above system is a solution of the normal system A T Ac = A T y: ( ) ( ) ( ) c = 1 1 c ( )( ) ( ) { 5 0 c1 3 c1 = 3/5 = c 2 = 2 c 2 Thus the function f (x) = 3 + 2x is the best least squares fit 5 to the above data among linear polynomials.

23 Problem 3. Let V be a subspace of R 4 spanned by the vectors x 1 = (1, 1, 1, 1) and x 2 = (1, 0, 3, 0). (i) Find an orthonormal basis for V. First we apply the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process to vectors x 1,x 2 and obtain an orthogonal basis v 1,v 2 for the subspace V: v 1 = x 1 = (1, 1, 1, 1), v 2 = x 2 x 2 v 1 v 1 = (1, 0, 3, 0) 4 (1, 1, 1, 1) = (0, 1, 2, 1). v 1 v 1 4 Then we normalize vectors v 1,v 2 to obtain an orthonormal basis w 1,w 2 for V: v 1 = 2 = w 1 = v 1 = 1 v 1 (1, 1, 1, 1) 2 v 2 = 6 = w 2 = v 2 v 2 = 1 6 (0, 1, 2, 1)
24 Problem 3. Let V be a subspace of R 4 spanned by the vectors x 1 = (1, 1, 1, 1) and x 2 = (1, 0, 3, 0). (ii) Find an orthonormal basis for the orthogonal complement V. Since the subspace V is spanned by vectors (1, 1, 1, 1) and (1, 0, 3, 0), it is the row space of the matrix ( ) A = Then the orthogonal complement V is the nullspace of A. To find the nullspace, we convert the matrix A to reduced row echelon form: ( ) ( ) ( )
25 Hence a vector (x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4 ) R 4 belongs to V if and only if ( ) x 1 ( ) x = 0 x 3 x 4 { x1 + 3x 3 = 0 x 2 2x 3 + x 4 = 0 { x1 = 3x 3 x 2 = 2x 3 x 4 The general solution of the system is (x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4 ) = = ( 3t, 2t s, t, s) = t( 3, 2, 1, 0) + s(0, 1, 0, 1), where t, s R. It follows that V is spanned by vectors x 3 = (0, 1, 0, 1) and x 4 = ( 3, 2, 1, 0).
26 The vectors x 3 = (0, 1, 0, 1) and x 4 = ( 3, 2, 1, 0) form a basis for the subspace V. It remains to orthogonalize and normalize this basis: v 3 = x 3 = (0, 1, 0, 1), v 4 = x 4 x 4 v 3 v 3 = ( 3, 2, 1, 0) 2 (0, 1, 0, 1) v 3 v 3 2 = ( 3, 1, 1, 1), v 3 = 2 = w 3 = v 3 v 3 = 1 2 (0, 1, 0, 1), v 4 = 12 = 2 3 = w 4 = v 4 = 1 v 4 2 ( 3, 1, 1, 1). 3 Thus the vectors w 3 = 1 2 (0, 1, 0, 1) and w 4 = ( 3, 1, 1, 1) form an orthonormal basis for V.
27 Problem 3. Let V be a subspace of R 4 spanned by the vectors x 1 = (1, 1, 1, 1) and x 2 = (1, 0, 3, 0). (i) Find an orthonormal basis for V. (ii) Find an orthonormal basis for the orthogonal complement V. Alternative solution: First we extend the set x 1,x 2 to a basis x 1,x 2,x 3,x 4 for R 4. Then we orthogonalize and normalize the latter. This yields an orthonormal basis w 1,w 2,w 3,w 4 for R 4. By construction, w 1,w 2 is an orthonormal basis for V. It follows that w 3,w 4 is an orthonormal basis for V.
28 The set x 1 = (1, 1, 1, 1), x 2 = (1, 0, 3, 0) can be extended to a basis for R 4 by adding two vectors from the standard basis. For example, we can add vectors e 3 = (0, 0, 1, 0) and e 4 = (0, 0, 0, 1). To show that x 1,x 2,e 3,e 4 is indeed a basis for R 4, we check that the matrix whose rows are these vectors is nonsingular: = = 1 0.
29 To orthogonalize the basis x 1,x 2,e 3,e 4, we apply the Gram-Schmidt process: v 1 = x 1 = (1, 1, 1, 1), v 2 = x 2 x 2 v 1 v 1 = (1, 0, 3, 0) 4 (1, 1, 1, 1) = (0, 1, 2, 1), 4 v 1 v 1 v 3 = e 3 e 3 v 1 v 1 v 1 v 1 e 3 v (0, 1, 2, 1) = ( 1 4, 1 12, 1 12, 1 12 v 2 = (0, 0, 1, 0) 1 (1, 1, 1, 1) 4 v 2 v 2 ) = 1 ( 3, 1, 1, 1), 12 v 4 = e 4 e 4 v 1 v 1 v 1 v 1 e 4 v 2 v 2 v 2 v 2 e 4 v 3 v 3 v 3 v 3 = (0, 0, 0, 1) /12 (1, 1, 1, 1) (0, 1, 2, 1) 1 ( 3, 1, 1, 1) = 6 1/12 12 = ( 0, 1, 0, 1 2 2) = 1(0, 1, 0, 1). 2
30 It remains to normalize vectors v 1 = (1, 1, 1, 1), v 2 = (0, 1, 2, 1), v 3 = 1 ( 3, 1, 1, 1), v 12 4 = 1 (0, 1, 0, 1): 2 v 1 = 2 = w 1 = v 1 = 1 v 1 (1, 1, 1, 1) 2 v 2 = 6 = w 2 = v 2 v 2 = 1 6 (0, 1, 2, 1) v 3 = 1 12 = = w 3 = v 3 = 1 v 3 2 ( 3, 1, 1, 1) 3 v 4 = 1 2 = w 4 = v 4 v 4 = 1 2 (0, 1, 0, 1) Thus w 1,w 2 is an orthonormal basis for V while w 3,w 4 is an orthonormal basis for V.
31 Problem 4. Let A = (i) Find all eigenvalues of the matrix A. The eigenvalues of A are roots of the characteristic equation det(a λi) = 0. We obtain that 1 λ 2 0 det(a λi) = 1 1 λ λ = (1 λ) 3 2(1 λ) 2(1 λ) = (1 λ) ( (1 λ) 2 4 ) = (1 λ) ( (1 λ) 2 )( (1 λ) + 2 ) = (λ 1)(λ + 1)(λ 3). Hence the matrix A has three eigenvalues: 1, 1, and 3.
32 Problem 4. Let A = (ii) For each eigenvalue of A, find an associated eigenvector. An eigenvector v = (x, y, z) of the matrix A associated with an eigenvalue λ is a nonzero solution of the vector equation (A λi)v = 0 1 λ λ 1 x y = λ z 0 To solve the equation, we convert the matrix A λi to reduced row echelon form.
33 First consider the case λ = 1. The row reduction yields A + I = Hence (A + I)v = 0 { x z = 0, y + z = 0. The general solution is x = t, y = t, z = t, where t R. In particular, v 1 = (1, 1, 1) is an eigenvector of A associated with the eigenvalue 1.
34 Secondly, consider the case λ = 1. The row reduction yields A I = Hence (A I)v = 0 { x + z = 0, y = 0. The general solution is x = t, y = 0, z = t, where t R. In particular, v 2 = ( 1, 0, 1) is an eigenvector of A associated with the eigenvalue 1.
35 Finally, consider the case λ = 3. The row reduction yields A 3I = Hence (A 3I)v = 0 { x z = 0, y z = 0. The general solution is x = t, y = t, z = t, where t R. In particular, v 3 = (1, 1, 1) is an eigenvector of A associated with the eigenvalue 3.
36 Problem 4. Let A = (iii) Is the matrix A diagonalizable? Explain. The matrix A is diagonalizable, i.e., there exists a basis for R 3 formed by its eigenvectors. Namely, the vectors v 1 = (1, 1, 1), v 2 = ( 1, 0, 1), and v 3 = (1, 1, 1) are eigenvectors of the matrix A belonging to distinct eigenvalues. Therefore these vectors are linearly independent. It follows that v 1,v 2,v 3 is a basis for R 3. Alternatively, the existence of a basis for R 3 consisting of eigenvectors of A already follows from the fact that the matrix A has three distinct eigenvalues.
37 Problem 4. Let A = (iv) Find all eigenvalues of the matrix A 2. Suppose that v is an eigenvector of the matrix A associated with an eigenvalue λ, that is, v 0 and Av = λv. Then A 2 v = A(Av) = A(λv) = λ(av) = λ(λv) = λ 2 v. Therefore v is also an eigenvector of the matrix A 2 and the associated eigenvalue is λ 2. We already know that the matrix A has eigenvalues 1, 1, and 3. It follows that A 2 has eigenvalues 1 and 9. Since a 3 3 matrix can have up to 3 eigenvalues, we need an additional argument to show that 1 and 9 are the only eigenvalues of A 2. One reason is that the eigenvalue 1 has multiplicity 2.
38 Bonus Problem 5. Let L : V W be a linear mapping of a finite-dimensional vector space V to a vector space W. Show that dim Range(L) + dim ker(l) = dim V. The kernel ker(l) is a subspace of V. It is finite-dimensional since the vector space V is. Take a basis v 1,v 2,...,v k for the subspace ker(l), then extend it to a basis v 1,v 2,...,v k,u 1,u 2,...,u m for the entire space V. Claim Vectors L(u 1 ), L(u 2 ),...,L(u m ) form a basis for the range of L. Assuming the claim is proved, we obtain dim Range(L) = m, dim ker(l) = k, dim V = k + m.
39 Claim Vectors L(u 1 ), L(u 2 ),...,L(u m ) form a basis for the range of L. Proof (spanning): Any vector w Range(L) is represented as w = L(v), where v V. Then v = α 1 v 1 + α 2 v α k v k + β 1 u 1 + β 2 u β m u m for some α i,β j R. It follows that w = L(v) = α 1 L(v 1 )+ +α k L(v k )+β 1 L(u 1 )+ +β m L(u m ) = β 1 L(u 1 ) + + β m L(u m ). Note that L(v i ) = 0 since v i ker(l). Thus Range(L) is spanned by the vectors L(u 1 ),...,L(u m ).
40 Claim Vectors L(u 1 ), L(u 2 ),...,L(u m ) form a basis for the range of L. Proof (linear independence): Suppose that t 1 L(u 1 ) + t 2 L(u 2 ) + + t m L(u m ) = 0 for some t i R. Let u = t 1 u 1 + t 2 u t m u m. Since L(u) = t 1 L(u 1 ) + t 2 L(u 2 ) + + t m L(u m ) = 0, the vector u belongs to the kernel of L. Therefore u = s 1 v 1 + s 2 v s k v k for some s j R. It follows that t 1 u 1 +t 2 u 2 + +t m u m s 1 v 1 s 2 v 2 s k v k = u u = 0. Linear independence of vectors v 1,...,v k,u 1,...,u m implies that t 1 = = t m = 0 (as well as s 1 = = s k = 0). Thus the vectors L(u 1 ), L(u 2 ),...,L(u m ) are linearly independent.
