5.1. THE ND-SYSTEM 57<br />
Figure 5.2: Time instants <strong>to</strong> compute the action of A T p 1<br />
the values along the (finite) diagonals for which t 1 + t 2 is constant, for increasing<br />
values of this constant.<br />
One last remark concerns the computation of all the coordinates of a stationary<br />
point from the eigenvec<strong>to</strong>r of a single matrix such as A T x 1<br />
. Note that if v denotes an<br />
eigenvec<strong>to</strong>r of the matrix A T x 1<br />
corresponding <strong>to</strong> an eigenvalue ξ 1 , then the vec<strong>to</strong>r v =<br />
(y 0,0 ,y 1,0 ,y 2,0 ,y 0,1 ,y 1,1 ,y 2,1 ,y 0,2 ,y 1,2 ,y 2,2 ) T , and the vec<strong>to</strong>r A T x 1<br />
v =(y 1,0 ,y 2,0 ,y 3,0 ,<br />
y 1,1 ,y 2,1 ,y 3,1 ,y 1,2 ,y 2,2 ,y 3,2 ) T differ by the scalar fac<strong>to</strong>r ξ 1 . This implies that the<br />
columns of the matrix ⎛<br />
y 0,0 y 1,0 y 2,0 y 3,0<br />
⎜ y 0,1 y 1,1 y 2,1 y 3,1 ⎟<br />

⎞<br />
are all dependent: each column is equal <strong>to</strong> ξ 1 times its preceding column. If the<br />
vec<strong>to</strong>r v also happens <strong>to</strong> be an eigenvec<strong>to</strong>r of the matrix A T x 2<br />
corresponding <strong>to</strong> an<br />
eigenvalue ξ 2 (the theory of the previous chapter makes clear that such vec<strong>to</strong>rs v<br />
always exist and in case of distinct eigenvalues of A x1 will au<strong>to</strong>matically have this<br />
property) then the rows of the matrix exhibit a similar pattern: each row is equal
