The Simple Iterative Method Applied to a Matrix Which has a Dominant Double Real Eigenvalue
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
Suppose A is an n × n matrix with real elements, and that λ = λ1 is a dominant double real eigenvalue. We will assume for simplicity that none of the order eigenvalues are repeated. Then there are two possibilities
(a) matrix is non-defective, and we can find two linearly independent eigenvectors corresponding to the double root λ1,
(b) matrix is defective, and we have only one linearly independent eigenvectors corresponding to the double root λ1.
