About Eigenvalue Decomposition
Eigenvalue decomposition expresses a diagonalizable matrix A as A = QΛQ⁻¹, where Q contains the eigenvectors as columns and Λ is a diagonal matrix of eigenvalues. This decomposition reveals fundamental properties of the matrix and is central to many applications in linear algebra, including solving differential equations, analyzing dynamical systems, and dimensionality reduction.
