A matrix A is said to be nilpotent if there exists some

Chapter 8, Problem 26E

(choose chapter or problem)

A matrix A is said to be nilpotent if there exists some positive integer m such that \(\mathbf{A}^{m}=\mathbf{0}\). Verify that

\(\mathbf{A}=\left(\begin{array}{lll}

-1 & 1 & 1 \\

-1 & 0 & 1 \\

-1 & 1 & 1

\end{array}\right)

\)

is nilpotent. Discuss why it is relatively easy to compute \(e^{\mathbf{A} t}\) when A is nilpotent. Compute \(e^{\mathbf{A} t}\) and then use (1) to solve the system \(\mathbf{X}^{\prime}=\mathbf{A X}\).

Text Transcription:

mathbf A^m = mathbf 0

mathbf A = ({array} lll -1 & 1 & 1 -1 & 0 & 1 -1 & 1 & 1 {array})

e^mathbf A t

mathbf X^prime = mathbf A X
