by definition, an nxn matrix A is nilpotent. if there is an integer k>0 such that A^k = 0, the zero matrix. Prove the following: If A is nilpotent, then I+A is nonsingular. (Here I is the indentity matrix of size nxn.)
by definition, an nxn matrix A is unipotent. If I-A is nilpotent. Prove the following: If A is unipotent, then A is nonsingular.
1. (All students!) For matrices with special properties, it is possible to create special versions of Gauss elimination. Suppose matrix A (nxn) is symmetric (which means that A-A). Suppose also that A is positive definite; this means that the scalar = xTAx is always 20 for every vector x , and J-0 only if x = 0 In this case it can be shown that the usual Gauss elimination process, which effectively creates the factorization A LU, can be simplified...
An n x n matrix is called nilpotent if Ak = 0 (the zero matrix) for some positive integer k. (a) Suppose A is a nilpotent nxn matrix. Prove that is an eigenvalue of A. (b) Must O be the only eigenvalue of A? Either prove or give a counterexample,

5. Let AE Maxn(C). Recall that A is said to be nilpo tent if there exists a positive integer k such that A 0. Prove the following statements (a) If A is nilpotent, then A 0. (Hint: First show that if A is nilpotent, then the Jordan form of A is also nilpotent.) (b) If A is nilpotent, then tr(A) 0 (e) A is nilpotent if and only if the characteristic polynomial of A is (-1)"" (d) If A is...

7. Consider the Theorem: Suppose A and B are two lower triangular matrices (Defined in 8 3.1), of order n. Then, the product AB is also a lower triangular matrix. Likewise for upper triangular matrices. (We say that the set of lower triangular matrices, of order n, is closed under multiplication.) Prove this theorem, for n = 3, by multiplying the following two matri- ces: a1 0 0 A bi b 0 1 0 0 and B 2 0 21...
