EIGENVECTORS AND EIGENVALUES<br />

An eigenvector of a matrix is a vector such that, if multiplied with the<br />

matrix, the result is always an integer multiple of that vector. This integer value is<br />

the corresponding eigenvalue of the eigenvector. This relationship can be<br />

described by the equation M × u = λ × u, where u is an eigenvector of the matrix<br />

M and λ is the corresponding eigenvalue.<br />

matrix.<br />

Eigenvectors possess following properties:<br />

• They can be determined only for square matrices<br />

• There are n eigenvectors (and corresponding eigenvalues) in a n × n<br />

• All eigenvectors are perpendicular.<br />
