Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors under Similarity Transformations


A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview

The eigenvalues remain unchanged under similarity transformation

$\displaystyle A \to B = Q^{-1}AQ\, .
$

The eigenvectors are transformed according to the change of basis described by $ Q$. That is, An eigenvector $ w$ of $ A$ associated with eigenvalue $ \lambda$ corresponds to eigenvector $ v = Q^{-1}w$ of $ B$ associated with the same eigenvalue.
