Question 16:Produce the general solution of the dynamical system \({x_{k + 1}} = A{x_k}\) when \(A\) is the stochastic matrix for the Hertz Rent A Car model in Exercise 16 of Section 4.9.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required general solution is \({\bf{x}}\left( t \right) = {c_1}{{\bf{v}}_1} + {c_2}{\left( {0.89} \right)^k}{{\bf{v}}_2} + {c_3}{\left( {0.81} \right)^k}{{\bf{v}}_3}\).

Step by step solution

01

Determine the eigenvalues and eigenvector of the matrix using MATLAB

From exercise 16, we have:

\(A = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{0.90}&{0.01}&{0.09}\\{0.01}&{0.90}&{0.01}\\{0.09}&{0.09}&{0.90}\end{array}} \right)\)

Enter this matrix in MATLAB as:

>> \(A = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{0.90\,\,0.01\,\,0.09;}&{0.01\,\,0.90\,\,0.01;}&{0.09\,\,0.09\,\,0.90}\end{array}} \right)\);

For eigenvalues, enter instruction as:

>> \(E = {\rm{eigs}}\left( A \right)\);

We get:

\(E = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{0.81}\\{0.89}\\{1.00}\end{array}} \right)\)

Now, for eigenvectors, enter instruction as:

>> \(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}A&B\end{array}} \right) = {\rm{eigs}}\left( A \right)\);

So, we have:

\(\begin{array}{l}{v_1} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 0.6700}\\{ - 0.1399}\\{ - 0.7289}\end{array}} \right)\\{v_2} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{0.7071}\\{ - 0.7071}\\{ - 0.0000}\end{array}} \right)\\{v_3} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 0.7071}\\{0.0000}\\{0.7071}\end{array}} \right)\end{array}\)

Thus, these are the required eigenvectors.

02

The General Solution to the system.

Now, the general solution can be given as:

\({\bf{x}}\left( t \right) = {c_1}{{\bf{v}}_1} + {c_2}{\left( {0.89} \right)^k}{{\bf{v}}_2} + {c_3}{\left( {0.81} \right)^k}{{\bf{v}}_3}\)

Hence, this is the required solution.

Consider the growth of a lilac bush. The state of this lilac bush for several years (at year’s end) is shown in the accompanying sketch. Let n(t) be the number of new branches (grown in the year t) and a(t) the number of old branches. In the sketch, the new branches are represented by shorter lines. Each old branch will grow two new branches in the following year. We assume that no branches ever die.

Let \(A{\bf{ = }}\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{{a_{{\bf{11}}}}}&{{a_{{\bf{12}}}}}\\{{a_{{\bf{21}}}}}&{{a_{{\bf{22}}}}}\end{aligned}} \right)\). Recall from Exercise \({\bf{25}}\) in Section \({\bf{5}}{\bf{.4}}\) that \({\rm{tr}}\;A\) (the trace of \(A\)) is the sum of the diagonal entries in \(A\). Show that the characteristic polynomial of \(A\) is \({\lambda ^2} - \left( {{\rm{tr}}A} \right)\lambda + \det A\). Then show that the eigenvalues of a \({\bf{2 \times 2}}\) matrix \(A\) are both real if and only if \(\det A \le {\left( {\frac{{{\rm{tr}}A}}{2}} \right)^2}\).
