Symmetric

Recall: If P is an orthogonal n × n matrix, then P −1 = P T , which implies A = PDP^T is diagonalizable and symmetric.

Spectral Thm

An n × n symmetric matrix A has the following properties.

  1. All eigenvalues of A are real.
  2. The dimenison of each eigenspace is full, that it’s dimension is equal to it’s algebraic multiplicity.
  3. The eigenspaces are mutually orthogonal.
  4. A can be diagonalized: A = PDP^T , where D is diagonal and P is orthogonal.
