How can we show that $(I-A)$ is invertible?












5












$begingroup$


$A$ is an $ntimes n$ matrix with $|A|≤a<1 $ . I need to prove that the matrix $(I-A)$ is invertible with $|(I-A)^{-1}|lefrac1{(1-a)}$.



It doesn't say anything more. The norm makes me confuse. How can we start to solve this. Could you please help?

Hint: Show that a certain series converges in the norm $|cdot |$ and that this is an inverse for $I-A$.

    You can also argue without using the geometric series. The matrix $I-A$ is invertible if and only if $lambda = 1$ is not an eigenvalue of $A$.



    For a contradiction, assume $lambda = 1$ is an eigenvalue. Then $Ax = x$ for some $x$ with $|x| = 1$, so $|A| ge 1$.

        Another way to show this is the following:



        $I-A$ is invertible iff $ker(I-A) = {0}$.



        Now, let $x in mathbb{R}^nbackslash { 0 }$. Then
        $$
        lVert x rVert leq lVert x-AxrVert + lVert Ax rVert leq lVert (I - A) x rVert +lVert A rVert lVert x rVert underset{text{Assumption}}{<} lVert (I - A) x rVert + lVert x rVert
        $$

        So $0 < lVert (I-A) x rVert$ and thus $x notin ker(I-A)$.
