Characteristic polynomial

In linear algebra, the characteristic polynomial of a square matrix is a polynomial which is invariant under matrix similarity and has the eigenvalues as roots. It has the determinant and the trace of the matrix among its coefficients. The characteristic polynomial of an endomorphism of a finite-dimensional vector space is the characteristic polynomial of the matrix of that endomorphism over any base (that is, the characteristic polynomial does not depend on the choice of a basis). The characteristic equation, also known as the determinantal equation, is the equation obtained by equating the characteristic polynomial to zero. In spectral graph theory, the characteristic polynomial of a graph is the characteristic polynomial of its adjacency matrix. (Wikipedia).

How to reorder and classify a polynomial based on it's degree and number of terms

👉 Learn how to classify polynomials. A polynomial is an expression of the sums/differences of two or more terms having different integer exponents of the same variable. A polynomial can be classified in two ways: by the number of terms and by its degree. A monomial is an expression of 1

Cayley-Hamilton Theorem: General Case

Matrix Theory: We state and prove the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem over a general field F. That is, we show each square matrix with entries in F satisfies its characteristic polynomial. We consider the special cases of diagonal and companion matrices before giving the proof.

The Minimal Polynomial

Proof of the existence of the minimal polynomial. Every polynomial that annihilates an operator is a polynomial multiple of the minimal polynomial of the operator. The eigenvalues of an operator are precisely the zeros of the minimal polynomial of the operator.

Beyond Eigenspaces: Real Invariant Planes

Linear Algebra: In the context of real vector spaces, one often needs to work with complex eigenvalues. Let A be a real nxn matrix A. We show that, in R^n, there exists at least one of: an (nonzero) eigenvector for A, or a 2-dimensional subspace (plane) invariant under A.
