Show that for every symmetricnn matrix A there exists a constant k such that matrixA+kIn is positive definite.

Short Answer

Expert verified

the solution is

there exists such thatA+kIn is a positive definite matrix for any symmetric matrices A, using the fact thatminxTxxTAxmaxxT and choosingk>|mm|

Step by step solution

01

given information

MatrixA+kln

symmetricnn matrix A

02

solve the function

Any n times n symmetric matrix A determines the quadratic formq(x)=xTAxin a unique way. Let1,2,,nrepresentA'seigenvalues and B representA'seigen basis. The quadratic form q(x)=xTAx.

q(x)=xTAx=1c12+2c22+L+ncn2-(1)

thus be written as, where (c1,c2,,cn)Tare the coordinate vectors of x in relation to B. As a result of (1), we get.

minxTxxTAxmaxxTx

That is,

minx2xTAxmaxx2

Consider the following to see if A+klnis definite.

xT(A+kIn)x=xTAx+kxTxminx2+kx2=(min+k)x2

ForA+kln to be positive definite, we must havexT(A+kIn)x>0 for all x0. Thus , by choosingk>|min|,(min+k)x2>0 for all x0.

As a result, there exists k such thatA+kln is a positive definite matrix for any symmetric matrices A of order n.

03

conclusion

there exists such thatA+kln is a positive definite matrix for any symmetric matrices , using the fact thatminxTxxTAxmaxxT and choosingk>|m|
