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 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
