Am I understanding this right?
Let's say I have a 15x15 matrix called Z. Then the matrix of eigenvalues calculated from Z, called D, can have two forms - either diagonal or block diagonal.
If the matrix D comes out with values only on the diagonal, then there are only real values. But...
HallsofIvy,
Thanks for your response. I wanted to follow-up on something you mentioned... You said that you think I should be looking for the largest real eigenvalue. I didn't know that I should only be limiting the search to the largest _real_ eigenvalue. I think this will simplify things...
To give you some background, I am trying to perform an AHP calculation using Java code. I have a 15x15 matrix and I need to find its eigenvector. I want the eigenvector that corresponds to the greatest eigenvalue.
Let's say I already have some method that gives me all the eigenvectors and all...
Hello Everyone,
I would like some help developing a model. I am using the Solver in Excel, but the results are giving me counter-intuitive results. I believe it is because my model is incorrect. Once I get some help perfecting the model, then I will worry about translating it for the Solver...
