Hey! :o

Does it stand that the eigenvalues of $A^{-T}A^{-1}$ are the inverse of the eigenvalues of $A^TA$ ?? (Wondering)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It is as followed, right??

The eigenvalues of $A^{-T}A^{-1}$ are the inverse of the eigenvalues of $(A^{-T}A^{-1})^{-1}=AA^{T}$ and the eigenvalues of $AA^{T}$ are the same as the eigenvalues of $A^{T}A$. So the eigenvalues of $A^{-T}A^{-1}$ are the inverse of the eigenvalues of $A^{T}A$.

(Wondering)

But for which matrices $A$ does this stand?? (Wondering)

As long as $A$ is invertible, the proposition is valid as you have shown.
 
Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
