Show that any \(3 \times 3\) matrix of the form \\[ \left(\begin{array}{lll} a & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & a & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & b \end{array}\right) \\] is defective.
For each of the following, find all possible values of the scalar \(\alpha\) that make the matrix defective or show that no such values exist: (a) \(\left(\begin{array}{lll}1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \alpha\end{array}\right)\) (b) \(\left(\begin{array}{lll}1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & \alpha\end{array}\right)\) (c) \(\left(\begin{array}{rrr}1 & 2 & 0 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \\ 2 & -1 & \alpha\end{array}\right)\) \((\mathbf{d})\left(\begin{array}{rrr}4 & 6 & -2 \\ -1 & -1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & \alpha\end{array}\right)\) (e) \(\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3 \alpha & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & \alpha & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \alpha\end{array}\right)\) (f) \(\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3 \alpha & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \alpha & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & \alpha\end{array}\right)\) (g) \(\left(\begin{array}{ccc}\alpha+2 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & \alpha+2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \alpha\end{array}\right)\) (h) \(\left(\begin{array}{ccc}\alpha+2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \alpha+2 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \alpha\end{array}\right)\)
Let \(A\) be an \(n \times n\) matrix with an eigenvalue \(\lambda\) of multiplicity \(n .\) Show that \(A\) is diagonalizable if and only if \(A=\lambda I\)
For each of the following, factor the given matrix into a product \(L D L^{T}\), where \(L\) is lower triangular with 1 's on the diagonal and \(D\) is a diagonal matrix: (a) \(\left(\begin{array}{rr}4 & 2 \\ 2 & 10\end{array}\right)\) (b) \(\left(\begin{array}{rr}9 & -3 \\ -3 & 2\end{array}\right)\) \((\mathrm{c})\left(\begin{array}{rrr}16 & 8 & 4 \\ 8 & 6 & 0 \\ 4 & 0 & 7\end{array}\right)\) (d) \(\left(\begin{array}{rrr}9 & 3 & -6 \\ 3 & 4 & 1 \\ -6 & 1 & 9\end{array}\right)\)
Let \(A\) be a diagonalizable \(n \times n\) matrix. Prove that if \(B\) is any matrix that is similar to \(A,\) then \(B\) is diagonalizable.
