Abstract
• Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are foundational
concepts in linear algebra with numerous
applications, such as Principal Component
Analysis (PCA), vibration analysis, and
quantum mechanics. This presentation
introduces the theory, geometric
interpretation, and properties, and
demonstrates their implementation using
MATLAB.
Introduction
• Eigenvalues and eigenvectors satisfy the
equation A * v = λ * v, where A is a square
matrix, λ is an eigenvalue, and v is an
eigenvector. This concept is widely used in
data science, engineering, and physics.
Geometric Interpretation
• Eigenvectors represent directions in which a
linear transformation scales a vector without
changing its direction. Eigenvalues represent
the scaling factors for these vectors.
Properties
• 1. Symmetric matrices have real eigenvalues.
• 2. Determinant and trace relate to
eigenvalues.
• 3. Singular matrices have eigenvalue λ = 0.
Calculation
• 1. Find det(A - λI) = 0 to compute eigenvalues.
• 2. Substitute λ back into A * v = λ * v to find
eigenvectors.
MATLAB Implementation
• % Define a matrix A
• A = [4, 2; 1, 3];

• % Compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors


• [V, D] = eig(A);

• % Display results
• disp('Eigenvalues:');
• disp(diag(D));
Example Problem
• Consider the matrix A:
• [[4, 2], [1, 3]]

• Step 1: Compute det(A - λI) = 0.


• Step 2: Solve for λ.
• Step 3: Compute eigenvectors manually or
using MATLAB.
Applications
• 1. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in
machine learning.
• 2. Vibrational analysis for natural frequencies.
• 3. Stability analysis in control systems.
Summary and Q&A
• Key Takeaways:
• 1. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors describe
fundamental properties of matrices.
• 2. MATLAB provides easy computation using
the eig function.
