A matrix has all elements 1 except the diagonal elements. It is an n×n matrix. What are the eigenvectors and eigenvalues ?
Solving book problems in Strang book and stuck on this one and I have no idea where to begin ?
Answer
Denote the matrix as M.
Let J be the matrix with all entries 1.
The matrix J has rank 1 therefore only one non zero eigenvalue which is n with corresponding eigenvector (1,1,…,1)T (what are the eigenvectors corresponding to the eigenvalue(s) 0?).
Now note that M=J+(d−1)In and that for any matrix A∈Rn×n, x∈Rn and r∈R if Ax=λx then (A+rIn)x=(λ+r)x.
