It follows from Exercise 14 that, for a diagonalizable matrix, the number of nonzero eigenvalues (counted according to multiplicity) equals the rank of the matrix. Give an example of a defective matrix whose rank is not equal to the number of nonzero eigenvalues.
Let \(A\) be a singular \(n \times n\) matrix. Show that \(A^{T} A\) is positive semidefinite, but not positive definite.
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.
We can show that, for an \(n \times n\) stochastic matrix, \(\lambda_{1}=1\) is an eigenvalue and the remaining eigenvalues must satisfy \\[ \left|\lambda_{j}\right| \leq 1 \quad j=2, \ldots, n \\] (See Exercise \(24 \text { of Chapter } 7, \text { Section } 4 .)\) Show that if \(A\) is an \(n \times n\) stochastic matrix with the property that \(A^{k}\) is a positive matrix for some positive integer \(k,\) then \\[ \left|\lambda_{j}\right|<1 \quad j=2, \ldots, n \\]
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 \(|\lambda|=1\)
