Prove the Frobenius theorem in the case where \(A\) is a \(2 \times 2\) matrix.

Short Answer

Expert verified
For a given 2x2 matrix \(A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}\), we find the conjugate transpose \(A^* = \begin{bmatrix} \bar{a} & \bar{c} \\ \bar{b} & \bar{d} \end{bmatrix}\), calculate \(A^*A\) and find the eigenvalues (位鈧, 位鈧). The singular values of \(A\) are the square roots of the eigenvalues, \(\sigma_1^2 = 位_1\) and \(\sigma_2^2 = 位_2\). We then show that the sum of squares of the singular values equals the sum of squares of the entries of \(A\), i.e., \(\sigma_1^2 + \sigma_2^2 = |a|^2 + |b|^2 + |c|^2 + |d|^2\). This proves the Frobenius theorem for a 2x2 matrix A.

Step by step solution

01

Define the 2x2 matrix A

Let A be a 2x2 matrix, where \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} \] with a, b, c, and d being complex numbers.
02

Calculate the conjugate transpose A*

Find the conjugate transpose of A, denoted as A^*. To find A^*, take the transpose of A and then find the complex conjugate of each element: \[ A^* = \begin{bmatrix} \bar{a} & \bar{c} \\ \bar{b} & \bar{d} \end{bmatrix} \]
03

Calculate A^*A

Now, we will multiply A^* by A. Since both matrices are 2x2, this will be a simple matrix multiplication. \[ A^*A = \begin{bmatrix} \bar{a} & \bar{c} \\ \bar{b} & \bar{d} \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \bar{a}a + \bar{c}c & \bar{a}b + \bar{c}d \\ \bar{b}a + \bar{d}c & \bar{b}b + \bar{d}d \end{bmatrix} \]
04

Find the eigenvalues of A^*A

To find the eigenvalues of A^*A, we need to solve the characteristic equation det(A^*A - 位I) = 0, where 位 is an eigenvalue and I is the identity matrix: \[ \begin{vmatrix} \bar{a}a + \bar{c}c - 位 & \bar{a}b + \bar{c}d \\ \bar{b}a + \bar{d}c & \bar{b}b + \bar{d}d - 位 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \] Expanding this determinant, we get \[ (\bar{a}a + \bar{c}c - 位)(\bar{b}b + \bar{d}d - 位) - (\bar{a}b + \bar{c}d)(\bar{b}a + \bar{d}c) = 0 \] This is a quadratic equation in 位. Since the matrix A^*A is Hermitian, its eigenvalues will be real.
05

Find the singular values of A

The singular values of A are the square roots of the eigenvalues of A^*A. Let 蟽_1 and 蟽_2 be the singular values of A. Then, \[ 蟽_1^2 = 位_1 \quad , \quad 蟽_2^2 = 位_2 \] where 位_1 and 位_2 are eigenvalues of A^*A.
06

Show that the sum of squares of the singular values equals the sum of squares of the entries of A

We need to show that 蟽_1^2 + 蟽_2^2 = |a|^2 + |b|^2 + |c|^2 + |d|^2. Using the results from step 4, we have \[ 蟽_1^2 + 蟽_2^2 = 位_1 + 位_2 = tr(A^*A) = \bar{a}a + \bar{c}c + \bar{b}b + \bar{d}d \] Since \(\bar{x}x = |x|^2\) for any complex number x, we have \[ 蟽_1^2 + 蟽_2^2 = |a|^2 + |b|^2 + |c|^2 + |d|^2 \] Therefore, we have proved the Frobenius theorem for a 2x2 matrix A.
