Finding matrix given eigenvalues and eigenvectors.












2












$begingroup$


a) Let $B$ be a 2x2 symmetric matrix and let $u$, $v$ be two eigenvectors of $B$ associated with the eigenvalues $w$ and $l$ respectively. Suppose $u$ = $$ left[
begin{array}{c}
1/sqrt2\
-1/sqrt2
end{array}
right] $$
and $v$ = $$ left[
begin{array}{c}
1/sqrt2\
1/sqrt2
end{array}
right] $$
with $w$= 1 and $l$=3 respectively, find matrix $B$.



b) Let $C$ be another symmetric matrix of order n with a characteristic polynomial $(w-w_1)(w-w_2)...(w-w_n)$ where $w_1≤w_2≤...≤w_n$. Prove that for any nonzero vector $x$ that belongs in $R^n$, $w_1≤x^TCx/x^Tx≤w_n$.



What I have done:
For part (a), converting $u$ and $v$ to orthogonal basis, I get $u_o$=$$ left[
begin{array}{c}
1\
-1
end{array}
right] $$ and $v_o$=$$ left[
begin{array}{c}
1\
1
end{array}
right] $$. Letting $M$ = $$ left[
begin{array}{cc}
1&0\
0&3
end{array}
right] $$ and $S$ = $$ left[
begin{array}{cc}
1&1\
-1&1
end{array}
right] $$, the matrix B is obtained by putting together $SMS^{-1}$ = $$ left[
begin{array}{cc}
2&1\
1&2
end{array}
right] $$.



However, for part (b), while I can derive that $w_1,w_2,...,w_n$ are eigenvalues of C, I am unsure of how to proceed, hence may I get some help for this?

Suppose that $lVert xrVert=1$. Then $x^Tx=1$. On the other hand, let $(v_1,ldots,v_n)$ an orthonormal basis of eigenvecors, such that the eigenvalu corresponding to $v_k$ is $w_k$. Then $x$ can be written as $alpha_1v_1+cdots+alpha_kv_k$. So, $Cx=alpha_1w_1v_1+cdots+alpha_nw_nv_n$ and so$$x^TCX=lvertalpha_1rvert^2w_1+cdots+lvertalpha_nrvert^2w_n.$$Since $lvertalpha_1rvert^2+cdots+lvertalpha_nrvert^2=1$, this number is between $w_1$ and $w_n$.



If $x$ is an arbitrary non-zero vector, you can apply the previus result to $frac x{lVert xrVert}$.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
