find the Jordan basis of a matrix












2












$begingroup$


I'm trying to find the Jordan basis of the matrix $$A =begin{bmatrix} 8 & 1 & 2 \ -3 & 4 & -2\ -3 & -1 & 3end{bmatrix}$$ I've got the characteristic equation to be $CA(x) = (5-x)^3$ and hence the eigenvalue to be $5$. I started by finding $v_1$ such that $(A-5I)v_1=0$ and chose $v_1 = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -3 \ 0end{bmatrix}$. I then tried to find a $v_2$ such that $(A-5I)^2v_2 = 0$ but $(A-5I)^2$ is the zero matrix so can $v_2$ be any vector in $mathbb{R}^3$?



More generally, when trying to find a Jordan basis for a matrix $A$, what do you do when $(A-lambda I)^i=0$ for some $i$? Also what do you do when there is no solution to $(A-lambda I)^iv_i = 0$ for a particular $i$?

The eigenspace $E_5$ has dimension $2$ (so the Jordan form of the matrix will have $2$ Jordan blocks) since
$$A-5I=begin{bmatrix}
3&1&2\-3&-1&-2\-3&-1&-2end{bmatrix}
$$
and it is defined by the single equation $;3x+y+2z=0$.



You should attack the problem backwards: begin with choosing a vector $v_3=(x,y,z)$,
in $ker(A-5I)^2smallsetminus E_5=mathbf R^3smallsetminus E_5$, i.e. such that
$$3x+y+2zne 0,enspace text{say }enspace v_3=(1,0,-1),$$



and set $;(A-5I)v_3=v_2=(1,-1,-1)$ ; $v_2$ belongs to the eigenspace $E_5$.



Last you have to complete $v_2$ with another vector $v_1$ in the eigenspace which is linearly independent from $v_2$. The vector you've found – $v_1=(1,-3,0)$ is fine. In the basis $mathcal B=(v_1,v_2,v_3)$ the matrix of $A$ becomes by construction:
$$J=begin{bmatrix}
5&0&0\0&5&1\0&0&5end{bmatrix}. $$

    This is because the algorithm starts with the generalised eigenvectors and ends with the real eigenvectorrs, obtained as images of the above level generalised eigenvectors – unless the matrix is diagonalisable.

If the minimal polynomial is $(lambda -5)^2,$ you may, indeed, pick any column vector $w$ you like that is not already an eigenvector, make it the right hand column of $P. ; $ The rule is that the middle column must be $v = (A-5I) w.$ The left column of $P$ is then $u,$ a different eigenvector from $v.$ Sometimes it takes a little ingenuity to take the pair of eigenvectors you first calculated and revise to get $u.$



Then, with matrix $P,$ you get $J = P^{-1}AP.$



Try it.

First take some $v in mathbb{C}^3$ such that $(A-5I)v ne 0$, for example take $v = e_2$. Then calculate $$(A-5I)v = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -1 \ -1end{bmatrix}$$ and find some $w in ker (A-5I)$ which is linearly independent with $(A-5I)v$. For example we can take the vector you already found: $$w = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -3 \ 0end{bmatrix}$$



Then the Jordan basis is ${(A-5I)v, v, w} = left{begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -1 \ -1end{bmatrix}, begin{bmatrix} 0 \ 1 \ 0end{bmatrix}, begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -3 \ 0end{bmatrix}right}$.

    Much appreciated. apologies for the lack of Mathjax. I will give this a go.

    First take some $v in mathbb{C}^3$ such that $(A-5I)v ne 0$, for example take $v = e_2$. Then calculate $$(A-5I)v = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -1 \ -1end{bmatrix}$$ and find some $w in ker (A-5I)$ which is linearly independent with $(A-5I)v$. For example we can take the vector you already found: $$w = begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -3 \ 0end{bmatrix}$$



    Then the Jordan basis is ${(A-5I)v, v, w} = left{begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -1 \ -1end{bmatrix}, begin{bmatrix} 0 \ 1 \ 0end{bmatrix}, begin{bmatrix} 1 \ -3 \ 0end{bmatrix}right}$.
