Short Answer

Expert verified
In summary, given a real nonsingular matrix B, we proved that:\(B^T B\) is symmetric by showing that \((B^T B)^T = B B^T\), and \(B^T B\) is positive definite by demonstrating that for any non-zero vector x, \(x^T(B^T B)x > 0\).

Step by step solution

01

Recall definitions and properties

Before attempting this proof, we must be familiar with the following definitions and properties: 1. Symmetric Matrix: A matrix A is said to be symmetric if its transpose A^T equals A. 2. Positive Definite Matrix: A matrix A is said to be positive definite if for any non-zero vector x, x^T A x is positive (strictly greater than zero). 3. Transpose Properties: For any matrices A and B with appropriate dimensions, we have: (a) (A + B)^T = A^T + B^T (b) (AB)^T = B^T A^T (c) (A^T)^T = A Now we proceed to prove parts (a) and (b).
02

Prove that \(B^T B\) is symmetric

To prove that \(B^T B\) is symmetric, we need to show that its transpose is equal to itself. That is, we need to verify the following: \((B^T B)^T = B^T B\) Using the transpose properties mentioned in Step 1: \((B^T B)^T = B^{TT} (B^T)^T\) Since the transpose of a transpose is the original matrix: \(B^{TT} (B^T)^T = B B^T\) So, we have established that: \((B^T B)^T = B B^T\) Hence, \(B^T B\) is symmetric.
03

Prove that \(B^T B\) is positive definite

To prove that \(B^T B\) is positive definite, we need to show that for any non-zero vector x, the expression \(x^T(B^T B)x > 0\). Let x be any non-zero vector. Then: \(x^T(B^T B)x = (x^T B^T)(Bx)\) Now, let y = Bx. Since B is nonsingular (invertible), it has full rank, and hence Bx ≠ 0 when x ≠ 0. So, y is also a non-zero vector. Now, the expression becomes: \((x^T B^T)(Bx) = y^T y\) The expression \(y^T y\) is the dot product of vector y with itself, which is equivalent to the sum of the squares of the components of y. Since y is a non-zero vector, the sum of the squares of its components will always be positive. Thus: \(y^T y > 0\) This implies: \(x^T(B^T B)x > 0\) Therefore, \(B^T B\) is positive definite. By completing the proof for both parts (a) and (b), we have shown that if B is a real nonsingular matrix, then \(B^T B\) is symmetric and positive definite.

Find the matrix \(P\) that represents the usual inner product on \(\mathbf{C}^{3}\) relative to the basis \(\\{1, i, 1-i\\}\).

Find the values of \(k\) so that the following is an inner product on \(\mathbf{R}^{2}\), where \(u=\left(x_{1}, x_{2}\right)\) and \(v=\left(y_{1}, y_{2}\right)\)

Label the following statements as true or false. Assume that the characteristic polynomial of the matrix or linear operator splits. (a) The Jordan canonical form of a diagonal matrix is the matrix itself. (b) Let \(\mathrm{T}\) be a linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space \(\mathrm{V}\) that has a Jordan canonical form \(J\). If \(\beta\) is any basis for \(\mathrm{V}\), then the Jordan canonical form of \([\mathrm{T}]_{\beta}\) is \(J\). (c) Linear operators having the same characteristic polynomial are similar. (d) Matrices having the same Jordan canonical form are similar. (e) Every matrix is similar to its Jordan canonical form. (f) Every linear operator with the characteristic polynomial \((-1)^{n}(t-\lambda)^{n}\) has the same Jordan canonical form. (g) Every linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space has a unique Jordan canonical basis. (h) The dot diagrams of a linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space are unique.

Let \(A\) be an \(n \times n\) matrix whose characteristic polynomial splits, \(\gamma\) be a cycle of generalized eigenvectors corresponding to an eigenvalue \(\lambda\), and \(W\) be the subspace spanned by \(\gamma\). Define \(\gamma^{\prime}\) to be the ordered set obtained from \(\gamma\) by reversing the order of the vectors in \(\gamma\). (a) Prove that \(\left[\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{W}}\right]_{\gamma^{\prime}}=\left(\left[\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{W}}\right]_{\gamma}\right)^{t}\). (b) Let \(J\) be the Jordan canonical form of \(A\). Use (a) to prove that \(J\) and \(J^{t}\) are similar. (c) Use (b) to prove that \(A\) and \(A^{t}\) are similar.

Let \(\mathrm{S}\) consist of the following vectors in \(\mathbf{R}^{4}\) : \\[u_{1}=(1,1,0,-1), u_{2}=(1,2,1,3), u_{3}=(1,1,-9,2), u_{4}=(16,-13,1,3)\\] (a) Show that \(S\) is orthogonal and a basis of \(\mathbf{R}^{4}\). (b) Find the coordinates of an arbitrary vector \(v=(a, b, c, d)\) in \(\mathbf{R}^{4}\) relative to the basis \(S\) (a) Compute \\[\begin{array}{lll} u_{1} \cdot u_{2}=1+2+0-3=0, & u_{1} \cdot u_{3}=1+1+0-2=0, & u_{1} \cdot u_{4}=16-13+0-3=0 \\ u_{2} \cdot u_{3}=1+2-9+6=0, & u_{2} \cdot u_{4}=16-26+1+9=0, & u_{3} \cdot u_{4}=16-13-9+6=0 \end{array}\\] Thus, \(S\) is orthogonal, and \(S\) is linearly independent. Accordingly, \(S\) is a basis for \(\mathbf{R}^{4}\) because any four linearly independent vectors form a basis of \(\mathbf{R}^{4}\) (b) Because \(S\) is orthogonal, we need only find the Fourier coefficients of \(v\) with respect to the basis vectors, as in Theorem \(7.7 .\) Thus, \\[\begin{array}{ll}k_{1}=\frac{\left\langle v, u_{1}\right\rangle}{\left\langle u_{1}, u_{1}\right\rangle}=\frac{a+b-d}{3}, & k_{3}=\frac{\left\langle v, u_{3}\right\rangle}{\left\langle u_{3}, u_{3}\right\rangle}=\frac{a+b-9 c+2 d}{87} \\ k_{2}=\frac{\left\langle v, u_{2}\right\rangle}{\left\langle u_{2}, u_{2}\right\rangle}=\frac{a+2 b+c+3 d}{15}, & k_{4}=\frac{\left\langle v, u_{4}\right\rangle}{\left\langle u_{4}, u_{4}\right\rangle}=\frac{16 a-13 b+c+3 d}{435}\end{array}\\] are the coordinates of \(v\) with respect to the basis \(S\).
