Let \(U\) be a unitary matrix. Prove that (a) \(U\) is normal. (b) \(\|U \mathbf{x}\|=\|\mathbf{x}\|\) for all \(\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{C}^{n}\) (c) if \(\lambda\) is an eigenvalue of \(U,\) then \(|\lambda|=1\)
Let \\[ A=\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1 & -\frac{1}{2} \\ -\frac{1}{2} & 1 \end{array}\right) \quad \text { and } \quad B=\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right) \\] (a) Show that \(A\) is positive definite and that \(\mathbf{x}^{T} A \mathbf{x}=\mathbf{x}^{T} B \mathbf{x}\) for all \(\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^{2}\) (b) Show that \(B\) is positive definite, but \(B^{2}\) is not positive definite.
Let \\[ A=\left(\begin{array}{ll} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{array}\right) \\] Write \(A\) as a sum \(\lambda_{1} \mathbf{u}_{1} \mathbf{u}_{1}^{T}+\lambda_{2} \mathbf{u}_{2} \mathbf{u}_{2}^{T},\) where \(\lambda_{1}\) and \(\lambda_{2}\) are eigenvalues and \(\mathbf{u}_{1}\) and \(\mathbf{u}_{2}\) are orthonormal eigenvectors.
Let \(A\) be a \(3 \times 3\) symmetric positive definite matrix and suppose that \(\operatorname{det}\left(A_{1}\right)=3, \operatorname{det}\left(A_{2}\right)=6,\) and \(\operatorname{det}\left(A_{3}\right)=8 .\) What would the pivot elements be in the reduction of \(A\) to triangular form, assuming that only row operation III is used in the reduction process?
For each of the following matrices, compute the determinants of all the leading principal submatrices and use them to determine whether the matrix is positive definite: (a) \(\left(\begin{array}{rr}2 & -1 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right)\) (b) \(\left(\begin{array}{ll}3 & 4 \\ 4 & 2\end{array}\right)\) (c) \(\left(\begin{array}{rrr}6 & 4 & -2 \\ 4 & 5 & 3 \\ -2 & 3 & 6\end{array}\right)\) (d) \(\left(\begin{array}{rrr}4 & 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 & -2 \\ 1 & -2 & 5\end{array}\right)\)
