Chapter 6: Q-6-15SE (page 331)
Exercises 15 and 16 concern the (real) Schur factorization of an \(n \times n\) matrix A in the form \(A = UR{U^T}\), where U is an orthogonal matrix and R is an \(n \times n\) upper triangular matrix.
15. Show that if A admits a (real) Schur factorization, \(A = UR{U^T}\), then A has \(n\) real eigenvalues, counting multiplicities.
Short Answer
It is proved that A has \(n\) real eigenvalues, counting multiplicities.
