Chapter 7.4 Problem 28

Question

Let A be a symmetric n n matrix with eigenvalues 1, . . . , n and orthonormal eigenvectors u1, . . . , un. Let x Rn and let ci = uT i x for i = 1, 2, . . . , n. Show that (a) _Ax_22 = _n i=1 (i ci )2 (b) If x _= 0, then min 1in |i| _Ax_2 _x_2 max 1in |i (c) _A_2 = max 1in |i | 2

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 7.4 problem number 28 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let A be a symmetric n n matrix with eigenvalues 1, . . . , n and orthonormal eigenvectors u1, . . . , un. Let x Rn and let ci = uT i x for i = 1, 2, . . . , n. Show that (a) _Ax_22 = _n i=1 (i ci )2 (b) If x _= 0, then min 1in |i| _Ax_2 _x_2 max 1in |i (c) _A_2 = max 1in |i | 2
From the textbook chapter Matrix Norms and Condition Numbers you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
